Violin Concertos No. 1

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & London Symphony Orchestra & Mstislav Rostropovich & Maxim Vengerov

Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 19, is a violin concerto by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1917. The work combines lyrical Romantic violin writing with Prokofiev's modernist harmonies, driving motoric rhythms and clear classical forms, and stands as an early example of his move towards a neoclassical, melodically direct approach within his compositional output.
First released: 8th November 1994
