About
Who would have thought that Prokofiev’s huge orchestral score could find such convincing expression in a version for viola and piano? What is lost in orchestral colour is gained through the personal voice and warmth that the viola brings to this much-beloved music. What is more, the piano writing is equally superb and must surely have been influenced by Prokofiev’s own version for solo piano, made in 1937.
Robin Ireland is well known as the violist of the Lindsay String Quartet, with whom he played for twenty years. He now plays with the Primrose Piano Quartet and the Anton Stadler piano/clarinet/viola trio, and has a Duo with the pianist Tim Horton. As a soloist, he has broadcast on BBC Radio 3, performed Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante with the Liverpool Philharmonic and the London Mozart Players, and has in his repertoire all the major works for viola.
