Crossing Borders – Poga & Prokofiev

Uncompromising expression, jagged rhythms, and overwhelming virtuosity define Sergei Prokofiev’s second Piano Concerto. It is a work of eruptive force that captivates as a psychological drama of searing intensity – seemingly tailor-made for the Israeli pianist Boris Giltburg, renowned for his vividly narrative interpretations. What follows is a furious reaching for the stars: Alexander Scriabin’s third Symphony, »Le divin poème« – the Divine Poem. This iconic tone poem about humanity’s liberating ascent to the heavens is unleashed by the Latvian conductor Andris Poga.
