  • Description

    The violinist Bruno Monteiro and the pianist Joao Paulo Santos return with a new CD, this time dedicated to the two Sonatas and the Five Melodies for violin and piano by Sergei Prokofiev. Three important works of this genre, they are however, distinct. The First Sonata is characterised by a sombre and combative atmosphere, while the Second radiates virtuosity and the composer's more sarcastic side. The Five Melodies, originally written for voice and piano, are short pieces that showcase the violin's lyrical and gentle side. Monteiro's playing was described by Gramophone as "full of verve and boldness, that tends to sweep listeners off their feet" while Santos performances have been called "splendid" by Musicweb International.
