Violin Concertos: Violin Concerto No 1 in D major, Op 19Violin Concerto No 2 in G minor, Op 63 This re-issue brings together the Violin Concertos of Prokofiev, along with Violin Sonata No.1, performed by Lydia Mordkovitch under Neeme Jarvi. Jarvi is an outstanding collaborator. His feeling for this composer’s music is well established, and he brings out details that other conductors are content to overlook. Ms Mordkovitch has a powerful musical voice and a committed approach. I have returned to this recording with increasing fascination and would recommend it highly. . American Record Guide
