The Sonatas for Piano

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Anne-Marie McDermott

The Sonatas for Piano are a cycle of seven piano sonatas by Sergei Prokofiev, composed between 1909 and 1947. Spanning his early, middle and late periods, the works traverse romantic lyricism, terse motoric rhythms, sharp dissonances and neoclassical clarity, illustrating Prokofiev's evolving language and occupying a prominent place in his piano output and 20th-century keyboard repertoire.
First released: 12th May 2009
