Serge Prokofieff: Klavierkonzerte Nr.2 & 3 on CD
Klavierkonzerte Nr.2 & 3
Conventional CD, playable with all CD players and computer drives, but also with most SACD or multiplayers.
Nicht nur Kenner beklagen mitunter, dass man von den insgesamt fünf Klavierkonzerten Prokofieffs dem dritten viel zu häufig und dem zweiten viel zu selten begegnet. Die 1995 entstandenen Aufnahmen mit Nikolai Demidenko und dem London Philharmonic Orchestra unter Alexander Lazarev strotzen nur so vor Kraft und jugendlicher Lust an der Virtuosität – sowohl seitens des Solisten als auch des Komponisten.
Product-Information:
The music for Prokofiev's Second Piano
Concerto is, albeit in a different guise, that of the Scythian Suite which prompted the aging Glazunov to walk out of concert in fear for his hearing. In years since the work has won a rather more cherished place as the most popular of the composer's five highly contrasting works in the genre. The work is in four movements and develops upon the models of Rachmaninov.
The Third
Concerto is the result of much longer genesis, initial sketches having been made before the composition of
Concerto No 1. The work shows a similarly Russian character alongside more daring use of percussive piano writing.
Reviews
A. Csampai in stereoplay 3/97: »CD des Monats. Keine Frage also, daß Demidenko so im Zusammenspiel mit dem exzellent präparierten London Philharmonic eine neue Referenz-Marke setzt. Übrigens auch für das populäre, ›klassizistische‹ C-dur-Konzert.«»Demidenko is breathtaking in his virtuosity. The orchestra is with him all the way and so is the Hyperion production team who have, as usual, created the perfect sonic setting« (BBC Music Magazine)
»A commanding artist whose dazzling technique and virtuosity are never hidden from view« (Gramophone)
»What is most striking about Demidenko's performance is not so much his effortless command of the cascading torrents of notes as his ability to hold in perspective the plethora of detail while conveying a marvellous sense of lyrical sweep« (Soundscapes, Australia)
»Magnificent!« (Hi Fi News)
