PROKOFIEV: Sonata No. 8, Visions Fugitives, Romeo & Juliet – Nicholas Angelich ClassicSelectWorld

Nicholas Angelich’s new album is dedicated to Prokofiev, the so-called unclassifiable artist- considered revolutionary by some, neo-classical by others. Came to public attention as a virtuoso pianist, Sergei Prokofiev left a fascinating body of work, that of a composer torn between two societies, between the culture of his homeland and the unchallenged culture of the West.
