Sergei Prokofiev’s two Violin Concertos mark the beginning and the end of his exile: his early, challenging neoclassicism and the artistic route from his “nomadic life” in exile back to his home country. Ever since her career as a promising star of the GDR, Franziska Pietsch has felt at home in the music of this Russian composer, making her an ideal interpreter of Prokofiev’s virtuosic and multifaceted idiom.
