Description

Commentator Gerard McBurney calls Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand insanely difficult to play, but a treat for the listener.
“One of the most beautiful of all his five concertos. The thematic material is absolutely delightful, fresh as a daisy.”

Pianist Dmitri Alexeev is the soloist on this week’s Chicago Symphony Orchestra broadcast.
