SCHNITTKE Concerto for Piano and Strings
PROKOFIEV Symphony No. 2 in D minor

This compilation features works by two great Soviet composers: Sergei Prokofiev’s Second Symphony, and Alfred Schnittke’s Concerto for Piano and Strings, performed by soloist Yefim Bronfman. Franz Welser-Möst observes that “both composers were so grounded and bound to Russian soil that they could not deny that that spirit in their music. You can hear that they are inspired by the same history, the same tradition, and the same heart.”

Schnittke recorded live in Mandel Concert Hall in October 2020.
Prokofiev recorded live at the Adrienne Arsht Center (Miami) in January 2020.
