Prokofiev: Violin Conc... - Tianwa Yang - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Prokofiev: Violin Concerto Nos. 1 & 2/Sonata For Solo Violin is an album by Tianwa Yang, released in 2021. The album is a classical CD.

Prokofiev first became fascinated by the violin upon hearing the playing of his private teacher, Reinhold Glière. A dozen years later Prokofiev wrote his Violin Concerto No. 1 – a work of contrasting open-hearted lyricism and whimsical playfulness that features a wild central Scherzo with dazzling technical gymnastics. By contrast, the Violin Concerto No. 2 is emotionally reserved and sardonic with an inspired plaintive and long-arching slow movement. Composed to an official Soviet commission for an ensemble piece to be played by talented child violinists in unison, the witty and upbeat Sonata for Solo Violin can also be played by a single performer.
