Violin sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op 80

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

Eight years in writing - spanning World War 2 - unsurprisingly this is a solemn work, even for Prokofiev. Dark and brooding piano and 'distressed' sounding violin, the music seems to deny hope. Seven years later it was played at his funeral. Composer: Sergei Prokofiev Performer: Elena Urioste (Violin) Performer: Michael Brown (Piano) Recording date: 04 December 2013 Date of broadcast: 02 January 2014
