Description
Sergey Prokofiev left Russia soon after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and eventually found fame in Paris with compositions for the Ballets Russes. Believing he could work with the Soviet regime, he returned to Russia in the early 1930s and wrote his ballet Romeo and Juliet soon after. Sergey Smbatyan and the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra perform an extensive selection of music from Prokofiev’s two Op.64 suites, including the menacing ‘Montagues and Capulets’, otherwise known as ‘Dance of the Knights’. Roman Simovich, concert master of the London Symphony Orchestra, is soloist in the lyrical Second Violin Concerto, written shortly before Prokofiev’s permanent return to the Soviet Union, while South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son, silver medallist at the 2011 Moscow International Piano Competition, performs another youthful masterwork, the sensational Third Piano Concerto of 1921.
