Prokofiev: Concertos Nos. 1, 3 & 4 (UK-import)
2013 Cliburn Gold Medalist Vadym Kholodenko became the first-ever “Artistic Partner” with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra beginning in 2014/2015. He now concludes his complete cycle of Prokofiev piano concertos, which opened with Nos. 2 and 5. The three works heard here were composed over a span of two decades (1911 to 1930) and met with widely uneven reception, which ranged from the great popularity and critical acclaim in the case of No. 3 – to incomprehension and neglect, when it came to No. 4 (the ‘other’ concerto for the left hand alone). “He rewarded the audience with a highly varied, consistently interesting and technically amazing performance” (STAR TELEGRAM, concert review)
