Description:

Grimal & Golan's Poulenc, Stravinsky, and ProkofievThe new recording by Grimal, a violinist who founded Les Dissonances, an orchestra without a conductor and has been working with conviction in France and elsewhere, is a program of Poulenc and Prokofiev's "Sonatas" written during the war and Prokofiev's The new recording features a program of sonatas by Poulenc and Prokofiev written during the war and Stravinsky's "Divertimento". Grimal is joined by Itamar Golan, a world-renowned pianist of his generation who is known for his chamber music, especially with violinists. Poulenc's sonata was written in 1942 in memory of the Spanish poet Garcia Lorca. The Sonata No. 1, written by Prokofiev between 1938 and 1946, is a sonata with a brooding atmosphere, and the Sonata No. 2, written by Prokofiev in 1945, is a work that is not necessarily written for the violin to sound easily. is shrouded in gloom. Prokofiev himself described it as "the wind through the grave.In the third movement, there is a moment of relief in front of a warm fireplace in the freezing winter, but overall, it is a very heavy work that is gloomy, rugged, and even despairing. Stravinsky's "Divertimento," a festive, dance-inducing work, is based on the ballet "The Fairy's Kiss. Stravinsky himself arranged it from the orchestral version for a concert tour with violinist Samuel Dushkin. It is a masterpiece that demands a high degree of virtuosity and at the same time has a very rich song-like feel in some parts, as it was originally based on motifs from various works by Tchaikovsky.
