Prokofiev/ Yang - Violin Concertos 1 & 2 & Sonata for Solo Violin Format:CD Michael Foyle and Maksim ŠtšuraProkofiev first became fascinated by the violin upon hearing the playing of his private teacher, Reinhold Glire. A dozen years later Prokofiev wrote his ViolinConcertoNo. 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.
