Prokofiev piano concertos no.1 & 3

Description

Simon Trpceski on piano and Vasily Petrenko conducting the Liverpool Philharmonic revisit the musical monuments that are Prokofiev's Piano Concertos No. 1 and 3, with brilliance. Prokofiev was only 21 years old when he performed his Piano Concerto No. 1 for the first time on July 25, 1912, with his teacher Nikolay Tcherepnin conducting. Monuments of strength and virtuosity, Prokofiev's piano concertos are always a challenge for performers: pianist Simon Trpceski not only has phenomenal technique, but he also possesses that rare musical intelligence that allows him to use it at the most opportune moments to create a communicative joy. Vasily Petrenko at the helm of the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is the dream partner for the soloist, present in every nuance of these monuments of 20th-century piano music that are Concertos No. 1 and 3 by Prokofiev.
