An eminent Chopin specialist and also a feisty proponent of the Prokofiev concertos, Abdel Rahman El Bacha is the ideal interpreter for these piano works, which range from the futurist strains of the Toccata Op.11 (1912) to the 'fleeting visions' of Op.22 (1917), by way of the 'Gavotte' and 'Rigaudon' of the 'Ten Pieces' Op.12 and the 'Sarcasmes' Op.17. Amid this diversity, the Sonata No.2 Op.14 reverts to Classical models. Here on a single disc are all the solo piano works of the young Prokoviev's last years in Russia.
Tracks:
Toccata in D minor, Op. 11
Pieces (10), Op. 12
Piano Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 14
Sarcasms (5), Op. 17
Visions fugitives, Op. 22
