1917, when the D-major Concerto was written, was the most turbulent year in Russian history. The first performance of the Concerto was scheduled for November of 1917, with the Polish violinist Paul Kochanski as soloist. But the chaotic state of affairs in Petrograd caused a lengthy delay - until 1923, when it was played in Paris by Marcel Darrieux, with Serge Koussevitzky conducting. Prokofiev was by that time living in the French capital, having left Russia shortly after completing the Concerto for what he termed "a brief concert tour" of the West. (The tour was to last for 15 years.) The audience included members of the artistic elite of early-'20s Paris, among them Pablo Picasso, Alexander Benois, Anna Pavlova, Karol Szymanowski, Arthur Rubinstein, Joseph Szigeti, and Nadia Boulanger.
Within a matter of months, it had become a hit, a consequence of the orchestra-less Russian premiere, played by violinist Nathan Milstein and pianist Vladimir Horowitz, and the subsequent performance of the full version by Szigeti and an orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner at the 1924 Prague Contemporary Music Festival.

I really like this performance. Sergej really plays superbly, and he managed to create new colors that I haven't heard in other performances before. You can see that he really understands the music of Prokofiev.

You made it sound like it was written just yesterday - fresh and alive!!

Usually I am not a fan of interpreters who are extremely out there in the way they play but somehow I really like your interpretation of this piece!

[@herbertkronzucker8367]

Alive and intense - the high bow speeds are used to great advantage. A full and varied tone, great pressure release on double stops and the more ethereal high passage work, sharp pizzicato articulation. Excellent playing. This deserved a much fuller concert hall.

This is a great performance uniform! The long-tailed performance uniform is the mother's fenis!!!!

A superbly musical interpretation, beautifully executed...But what's he wearing?! Why this ridiculously depressing, insultingly casual all-black pajama-like outfit?! How inappropriate!
