L'étudiant et le maîtreIn this first volume of a complete collection of Prokofiev's sonatas, his compatriot Alexander Melnikov reveals three emblematic works. The brilliant Second Sonata dates from 1912, when its author is still a student at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. With the Sixth (1939) and Eighth (1944) we find the master in full maturity, immersed in the darkest years of the Great Terror and then the war. Reminiscences of his theatrical music, lyricism and violence blend in an ultra-virtuosic pianism.
