Prokofiev Sergei - Violin Concertos

Facts Celebrated Dutch violinist Maria Milstein performs Prokofiev's Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 together with Otto Tausk and PHION, Orchestra of Gelderland & Overijssel. Maria Milstein: "Prokofiev's music contains boundless fantasy and richness. The first time I heard Oistrakh's recording of the First Concerto it made an indelible impression on me. The two concertos are extremely different and represent separate stages in Prokofiev's life. The poetic, heavenly mood of the First Concerto is an invitation to a land of dreams. The second concerto sets an earnest and somber tone from the opening melody." She won the prestigious Dutch Music Prize in 2018 and released the critically acclaimed album 'Ravel Voyageur' in 2019. She plays a violin by Michele Angelo Bergonzi and a bow by Nicolas Léonard & François Xavier Tourte, on loan from the Dutch Musical Instruments Foundation.
