The best cadenza ever? Prokofiev and Ma Vlast
Update: 2022-11-27
Description
Have you ever “discovered” a major piece, live, in the concert hall? Nathan remembers sitting right next to a big star performing Prokofiev’s second Piano Concerto, with its massive and breathtaking first-movement cadenza. Then he and Akiko talk about sitting right next to another big star this week for the same piece.
They also reminisce about those stacks of records, cassette tapes, and ultimately CDs from which they learned all the repertoire.
Finally, they debate the categories for this week’s rep: Qigang Chen’s l’eloignement, Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in g minor, and Smetana’s Ma Vlast, with Bezhod Abduraimov as piano soloist and Xian Zhang conducting.
