Description:

Classical Masters" series. This is a collection of Prokofiev concertos that demand a kind of lightness in addition to first-rate technique. Itzhak Perlman has a wonderful ability to portray the contrasting aspects of the two concertos: the romantic beauty of No. 1 dominates, while No. 2 evokes a certain seriousness. Masterful accompaniment by Gennady Rozhestvensky adds to the virtuosity of the performance.
