Free Music Review: Expert Playing of Challenging Works
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm exceedingly envious of B?roff's ability to play. His approach to these concertos is agile, precocious, playful, expansive, highly emotional, and thorough. He's matched by the orchestra every step of the way. Masur does a superb job of keeping everything in focus. It's great to have all five concertos in a single recording, and to have such magnificent performances to showcase Prokofiev's genius. For this reason I highly recommend it.
But the technical aspects are lacking, mostly in the loudest passages of music. Regardless of what volume I play them, the higher dynamic levels are a bit distorted, which is a bit of a distraction and disappointment.
Try to remember that, however, when you are confronted with the overwhelming power of the first and final movements of the Second Concerto. I'm not certain any composer has ever approached that level of soberly romantic and confrontationally dramatic writing. Not in my opinion, anyway.
