Alexandra Conunova (violin) & Michael Lifits (piano)

Prokofjev: Violin Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 80
Prokofjev: Violin Sonata No. 2 in D major, Op. 94a

"This recording reveals her as a major artist…There’s a wealth of detail to savour in these performances…Conunova grabbed my attention from the first bars of Prokofiev’s First Sonata, employing a hoarse, beseeching tone… Remarkably, she and Lifits sustain this level of involvement and imagination…I can’t recommend their freshly considered, vividly recorded interpretations highly enough" - Gramophone Magazine August 2018
