About

Recorded live at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London, on 28 November 1997 (Violin Concerto No. 1, Chout and Rêves ) and 30 November 1997 (Symphony No. 3).

This is the first solely Prokofiev release on the LPO label. Until now only excerpts from the Chout Suite have been available (LPO1010, Vladimir Jurowski 10 Years box set). This is the first chance to hear renowned virtuoso violinist Vadim Repin on the LPO label. Repin won his first competition at the age of five, and at 17, he was the youngest ever winner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition. This is Repin’s first commercial release of the FIrst Violin Concerto This performance of Chout is narrated in English by stage and screen legend Simon Callow. Callow brings to life the story of a buffoon who, through many tricks and deceptions, outwits seven other buffoons. This release includes the full score of the 1921 ballet Chout. The full ballet is rarely performed and has only been recorded a handful of times in its history, with the first ever recording in 1985. Alexander Lazarev has been praised for his interpretations of Prokofiev. David Nice notes his ‘refreshing emotional directness’, and The Scotsman that his performance ‘swaggered with confidence and fizzed with electricity’.

Reviews

Classical Music September 2018

[Violin Concerto] Repin has a superb sense of line and a wonderful cantabile. Tensile and lyrical, his playing is mesmeric. The LPO are also on form, the Scherzo stunning in every respect. A brilliant performance. The performance of the fairytale Chout (The Buffoon; translated as ‘fool’) is involving, not least for Simon Callow’s hilarious accents. Lazarev has a natural flair for painting in sound and the LPO is on terrific form. Rêves rounds off proceedings with 10 minutes of relaxed balm. Superb.

Classical Ear October 2018

Vadim Repin takes time to settle into the First Violin Concerto but the scherzo is brilliant and the finale rises to a fervent climax before returning us to the fairy tale mood of the Concerto’s opening. The ten-minute tone poem Rêves makes for warming close to a fine sequence of performances. Strongly recommended.
