While he left behind works in every genre—from symphonies to piano pieces and film scores—his approximately 70 art songs are rarely performed. However, these art songs feature a well-balanced fusion of all four elements that Prokofiev referred to as his “four basic lines”—“classical,” “modern,” “dynamic,” and “lyrical”—making them a collection rich in highlights that clearly illustrates the roots of Prokofiev’s artistry. This album features a selection of 16 “classical” and “lyrical” art songs, ranging from “The Ugly Duckling”—which could be considered a precursor to *Peter and the Wolf*—to the romance “The Gray Dove Laments” from the suite *Lieutenant Kijé*. Gritskova, a mezzo-soprano whose expressive singing was highly praised in the 2019 release *Russian Art Songs* (8.573908) for her beautiful voice that “evokes a magnificent instrument,” delivers a performance rich in expression.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525303755041,"sku":"4945604740302","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604740302.jpg?v=1789730734","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604740302","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
