Prokofiev
Although himself a pianist, Prokofiev developed a remarkable empathy for the violin which inspired some of his most beautiful and personal music. On this disc Janine Jansen programmes one of his most beloved concertos – Violin Concerto No.2, conducted by the distinguished Prokofiev champion Vladimir Jurowski – with two chamber works that the composer conceived in the same decade.
