Gil Shaham, violin
Orli Shaham, piano
“There is a great music on this disc, the two violin and piano sonatas ranking with Prokofiev's finest chamber music, the first especially. And there are brief, tuneful and mischievous ones. The Shahams play both equally well, and the recording is stunning.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2007 ****
“…these… emerge as brilliant, highly expressive performances. The particularly wide dynamic range - of the recording as well as of the playing - here works decisively to the music's advantage. Both players have clearly entered right into Prokofiev's distinctive idiom. They show the divergent natures of the two sonatas exceptionally vividly - Op 80 sombre and concentrated, Op 94 full of ebullient fantasy.”
