The masters of the Russian arts are on full display as pianist Terrence Wilson performs Prokofiev's masterpiece concerto!
Of the five piano concertos written by Prokofiev, the Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Op. 26, has garnered the greatest popularity and critical acclaim. The concerto radiates a crisp vitality that testifies to Prokofiev's inventive prowess in punctuating lyrical passages with witty dissonances, while maintaining a balanced partnership between the soloist and orchestra.
