Par PROKOFIEV SERGEI. The Russian ballet director Sergei Diaghilev commissioned many composers to write music for the theatre. This was what caused Serge Prokofiev to compose the four part Scytische Suite (also known as Ala and Lolli) in 1916, from which The Enemy God and the Dance of the Spirits can be heard on this CD. This suite is one of Prokofiev's first works, and received negative criticism following its first performance on account of its being 'uncivilised'. Prokofiev himself wrote after this first performance '. . . The timpani player beat the skin of the timpani to tatters, and the whole orchestra voiced a protest. A cellist complained that he only put up with the violence, createdby the blaring brass, on account of his sick wife and three children. . .

Par PROKOFIEV SERGEI. Interestingly there are two different versions of Prokofiev’s second piano concerto, the first written between 1912 and 1913, the second written in 1923. However, during the Russian Civil War, the original manuscript of the Concerto was destroyed in a fire in Prokofiev’s apartment in St. Petersburg. In 1923 he recreated the score from memory, effectively composing the second edition of the work, which was very different. Prokofiev wrote to a friend: I have so completely rewritten the second concerto that it might be considered the fourth (his third piano concerto having been written in the meantime). At the time of composition, the concerto's wild temperamentleft some exalted, whereas others were horrified by the jarring and at the time futuristic sound. Today, however, it is generally recognised as a masterpiece and is one of the most virtuosic works in the piano concerto repertoire. Available here is the Hawkes Pocket Score edition (No. 877) of Prokoviev’s virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor Op. 16, and is ideal for study and perusal usage. / Hawkes Pocket Scores HPS 877 / Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

Par PROKOFIEV SERGEI. An impelling and moving Sonata for Two Violins by Ukranian composer Sergie Prokofiev. The four short movements are lyrical, playful, fantastic and violent, all striking themes. The warmer style and highly effective sequence mirrors Prokofiev's condition at the time of composition: after his travels to the West away from Russia, his work became increasingly more embracing rather than the confrontational and biting scores of his youth./ Répertoire / 2 Violons
