The War Sonatas

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Denis Kozhukhin

The War Sonatas are a set of three piano sonatas by Sergei Prokofiev, composed between 1940 and 1944. They showcase Prokofiev's late-modernist piano language, combining driving rhythms, sharp dissonances and lyrical excursions, and form a major element of his wartime output and the mid-20th-century piano repertoire.
