Description:

[Classical Masters No. 11] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters at Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. Prokofiev's five concertos are all difficult pieces that require superb technique. Belov, however, plays these works without difficulty, and at the same time, he gives a wonderful performance that accurately confronts the expression of Prokofiev's unique psychology and compositional philosophy.
