PROKOFIEV: PIANO SONATAS NO. 6/VISIONS FUGITIVES

Following up on his acclaimed recordings of Prokofiev s piano concertos Vadym Kholodenko offers more music by his favorite composer. The solo works assembled here reveal several facets of Prokofiev. He was an outstanding melodist a classicist on the fringes of the avantgarde and eventually the herald of a Soviet realism that was anything but servile. The freedom peculiar to the composerpianist with fingers of steel is brought out in all it s vitality by the subtle yet never showy playing of this Ukrainian artist.
