Prokofiev: Sinfonia concertante, Op. 125 - Myaskovsky: Cello Concerto, Op. 66

Masterworks of the Soviet cello repertoire, made available for the first time to digital partners! The shadow of the great Rostropovich (dedicatee of one, first performer on record of the other) looms over these two equally beautiful pieces, but quite different in tone. Myaskovsky's concerto is elegiac, moving in a very direct way, while Prokofiev’s Sinfonia concertante is epic and virtuoso. Interestingly, this version in which Mørk’s talent works wonders under the baton of Paavo Järvi includes both original and revised finales as intended by Prokofiev.
