Prokofiev: Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 / Love of Three Oranges Suite

Label: Decca Cat. No.: 476 274-4 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

Here, for the first time on CD, are Boris Belkin's sizzling accounts of the two Prokofiev Concertos. Kirill Kondrashin was meant to conduct them both, but his untimely death meant that Rudolf Barshai had to step onto the podium to conduct the Second. As a coupling you have a veritable Hi-Fi Spectacular - few recordings of the Love for Three Oranges suite have been delivered with as much swagger or with such thrilling sound as this recording by Walter Weller. Only momentarily available on CD, it now reappears to join Belkin's classic recordings of the Violin Concertos.

"The excitement in the orchestral playing is noticeable, so different from some of the bland, dull playing we often have to suffer on modern releases... The playing is first class, with sweetness of tone in full measure for the earlier of the two concertos. The second concerto is scored for full orchestra, minus timpani replaced by bass drum. The work is fully realised and played very effectively by the young soloist. I have had much pleasure from this disc and will be returning to it regularly. I highly recommend it." - John Philips, Musicweb International.
