The rediscovery of Stravinsky’s composition in 2015 was nothing short of a sensation. Composed in 1908 in memory of his teacher Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, the piece vanished amid the upheavals of the Russian Revolution. For more than a century it remained silent—until, once found again, it began its triumphant course through the great concert halls of the world. Born in that same revolutionary era, Sergei Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto has long since claimed its place in the repertoire of leading violinists. The exceptional artist Alina Pogostkina reveals the concerto’s weightless delicacy and nocturnal reverie—until destiny asserts itself with grand orchestral gesture in Tchaikovsky’s Fifth.
