Music reviews of Prokofiev: Violin ConcertosMusic Review: UNDEMANDING PROKOFIEVIt would be interesting to know how many people who had been allowed out of the Soviet Union returned there through their own free will as Prokofiev did. There were certainly romantic dupes at the time regarding Stalin's monstrous regime, and they included not only Olaf Stapledon (who had no political nous at all) but also Bernard Shaw who should certainly have known better. However this class of wishful thinker was mainly foreign, not Russian. Prokofiev does not seem to have been particularly ideological or political, and he may simply have been homesick for Russia. His first violin concerto was premiered during his absence in Paris, and his second actually in Madrid on a concert tour from home. Both had first been conceived as smaller works, expanding under the composer's hand into full-scale concertos. The overture on Hebrew themes originated from a spell in America, and its orchestral version, together with the short march that rounds off this disc, dates from after the composer's return to his motherland.
