A major body of works from among the great musical innovations of the first half of the 20th century, the complete cycle of Prokofiev’s sonatas was composed over a period of 40 years, from 1907 to 1947. The pianist Stephane Ginsburgh journeys alone but with supreme mastery in the turbulent Russia of last century’s dawn. A Russian dream that knows no limits. Stephane Ginsburgh’s performance – in this essential box-set – is an illustration of the sheer force of this dream: bold, masterly and luminescent.
