Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano)About
Never one to let good music go to waste, Prokofiev diligently composed piano arrangements of excerpts from a number of his stage works, thereby encouraging his public to become familiar with the highlights until such time as an opportunity might arise to see the work in its entirety.
Earlier in his career, Vladimir Ashkenazy included two pieces from Romeo and Juliet on his album of selected Prokofiev Sonatas. Much later, he revisited them for this long out-of-print digital recording, including all ten pieces from Romeo and Juliet as well as pieces from his other ballet score, Cinderella, and three pieces from operas: War and Peace and The Love of Three Oranges.
