Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3, Symphony No. 5 - DENIS MATSUEV / MARIINSKY ORCHESTRA / VALERY GERGIEV (Hybrid SACD)

The Third Piano Concerto certainly packs a mighty punch through Denis Matsuev's brilliantly athletic playing...--BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

The Allegro takes off at a very fast pace, with impressively precise articulation from the pianist…but he is also able to play with sensitivity and delicacy where that is required…The Mariinsky Orchestra is in excellent form in both those performances…This release is recommended. --FANFARE
