After recording the complete Prokofiev concertos, Vadym Kholodenko returns to his favourite composer. The pieces assembled here reveal several facets of Prokofiev: an outstanding melodist, a ‘classicist’ on the fringes of the avant-garde, and eventually the herald of a Soviet realism that was anything but servile. The freedom peculiar to the composer-pianist ‘with fingers of steel’ is brought out in all its vitality by the subtle yet never showy playing of this Ukrainian artist.
