«Violin Concertos» is the classical music album by Sergei Prokofiev, released by Chandos on CD (1 disc).
The disc brings together Sergei Prokofiev's two violin concertos in a digital recording featuring violinist Lydia Mordkovitch and the Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Neeme Järvi. The first work, in D major, displays a lyricism characteristic of the composer's youthful period, while the second concerto, in G minor, combines humor, virtuosity and a more brilliant orchestration, showing the evolution of Prokofiev's style.
The album includes the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 19, and the Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 63, with a total duration of 47:22. It was recorded and originally released in 1989 by Chandos Records, with catalogue number CHAN 8709.
It will appeal to those seeking a classic and well-documented version of Prokofiev's violin concertos, with an established soloist and a top-tier British orchestra.
