Details: Prokofiev: Cello Sonata; Sinfonia Concertante by Bruno Philippe, Tanguy de Williencourt, Frankfurt Radio Symphony & Christoph Eschenbach - With this new album devoted to Prokofiev, cellist Bruno Philippe continues his exploration of Russian music. Having already recorded a recital of Rachmaninov's and Myaskovsky's Sonatas with Jérôme Ducros, here he is reunited with his long-time musical partner Tanguy de Williencourt on the piano, but also with his mentor, conductor Christoph Eschenbach leading the hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt. On the program, Prokofiev's (surprisingly?) romantic cello sonata, coupled with his Sinfonia concertante, that Mount Everest of technical challenges - both works having been written for the great Rostropovitch, who gave them their first performances in 1950 and 1952.
