This double album set offers all the works that Prokofiev wrote for the violin as solo instrument. One of the most sought-after and acclaimed violinists today, James Ehnes is accompanied by the BBC Philharmonic and Gianandrea Noseda in the two concertos, and, in several chamber works, by the pianist Andrew Armstrong with whom he has previously made a number of highly acclaimed Chandos recordings. The distinguished Amy Schwartz Moretti joins James Ehnes in the Sonata for Two Violins. The First Violin Concerto, completed in 1917, is a work with much charm and gentle tunefulness. It was written during a comparatively lyrical period in Prokofiev’s compositional life, though it is not without passages of bravura, especially in the brilliant central scherzo. The Second Concerto was premiered in 1935 and in feeling and atmosphere inhabits the world of Romeo and Juliet. All Prokofiev’s chamber works featuring solo violin are also present on this release. Both the violin sonatas were written in close association with the violinist David Oistrakh but they are highly contrasted, the clean and simple beauty of the Second standing in stark opposition to the emotional depth of the First. Also included are the Sonata for Solo Violin and the Five Melodies.
"...Ehnes is joined by Amy Schwartz Moretti for an electrifying performance of the duo sonata In their mix of lyricism and sharpe-edged rhythmic and harmonic piquancy. Ehnes and Moretti are absolutely spot on in defining the music’s character. This is playing that truly grabs you by the scruff of the neck and commands attention For the two concertos Ehnes teams up again with an orchestra and conductor he knows well - the BBC Philharmonic and Gianandrea Noseda - who yield apt, complimentary shades of colouring, both brilliant and pungent, to match Ehnes’s superb artistry." (Geoffrey Norris, The Daily Telegraph)
"...James Ehnes and his various partners (including Amy Schwartz Moretti in the 1932 sonata for two violins) give the impression of wanting the music to speak for itself without any imposed personal overlay. And Ehnes certainly has the musical savoir faire and virtuosity to make the approach work." (Michael Dervan, IrishTimes.com)
"...James Ehnes’s particular combination of matchless virtuosity, sweet tone, flowing tempi and interpretative restraint suits all this music down to the ground the contribution of the BBC Philharmonic is distinguished throughout Strongly recommended." (David Gutman, Gramophone magazine)
