Energy, passion and irony in Prokofiev’s delightful lyricism and pounding rhythms

With deft touch and rhythmic precision, pianist Olli Mustonen always chooses resolutely for clarity. He also approaches Prokofiev’s piano sonatas with this characteristic passion. When composing, Prokofiev worked in his own distinctive and demanding way. Energy, passion, sarcasm and irony are expressed in his work in both delightful lyricism and in pounding rhythms. His music, which was passionately defended by piano greats such as Sviatoslav Richter and Emil Gilels, is now getting Olli Mustonen’s undivided attention. For several months this Finn has devoted himself intensively to Prokofiev’s piano concertos and sonatas, with recordings and concerts from Helsinki to Singapore and ... Bruges.
