War Sonatas

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Boris Giltburg

War Sonatas is a cycle of three piano sonatas by Sergei Prokofiev, composed between 1939 and 1944. They exemplify Prokofiev's wartime musical language, blending percussive, motoric piano writing, stark dissonances and sudden lyric episodes to create a tense, dramatic sound world that marks a mature phase of his output and features prominently in mid-20th-century piano repertoire.
