Artist(s):
Pieter Wispelwey

Conductor:
Vassily Sinaisky

Background: In the midst of war and state-sponsored terror, one thing in Prokofiev's life retained its priceless value: friendship. It was for his good friend, Mstislav Rostropovich, that he composed the Sinfonia Concertante, op.125.

"For this live recording, to have the support of Vassily Sinaisky and this orchestra, that has a decade of Gergiev behind it, was a tremendous privilege. They were exciting days. The choice forthe two solo encores, Tcherepnin and Crumb was made to give two examples on a totally different scale from the same early postwar years in which the Concertante was written. The Tcherepnin particularly, is almost on a miniaturist scale." - Pieter Wispelwey from liner notes.
