PROKOFIEV: WORKS FOR VIOLIN & PIANO - GIL & ORLI SHAHAM

Gil Shaham violinOrli Shaham pianoA busy virtuoso pianist, Sergei Prokofiev can be forgiven for producing considerably less music for violin the for piano. After all, he knew he could always find someone to play his piano pieces - himself.But persuading prominent violinists to play a new sonata or concerto is not always theeasiest thing to do, especially for a young composer just starting out. For an irreverent “futurist” like Prokofiev, whose quirky personality and icon-smashing music tended to annoy and alarm members of the establishment, this was even more of a challenge. Even so, the small body of music Prokofiev did compose for violin ranks among the most provocative and appealing written since 1900.
