This 2-CD set is essential for anyone who wants to understand a crucial aspect of 20th century music but it also offers far more. Russian music from Stravinsky’s early ballets to Schnittke and beyond to countries formerly in the USSR is large in output and mainly great in quality. Given that we all know snatches of Prokofiev and Shostakovich as well as contemporaries who lived elsewhere, I suggest that re-calibrating our perceptions is due about now and this should be done without the political fog so often mentioned.

EMI’s release of the piano concertos by Béroff with the Gewandhausorchester under Kurt Masur covers Prokofiev’s career and musical language at keyboard and orchestra level. It’s a key to his other massive achievements – not least his ‘protection’ of Shostakovich in the dangerous years. The irony of Stalin and Prokofiev dying on the same day in 1953 would never be believed in fiction but should be remembered.
