De l’ombre à la lumière, telle est la courbe émotionnelle que dessinent les Sonates pour violon et piano de Sergeï Prokofiev, publiées dans les années 1940, intense période de création pour le musicien russe qui travaille alors à son ballet Cendrillon et sa Cinquième Symphonie.

La violoniste Alexandra Conunova, lauréate du prestigieux concours Tchaïkovski en 2015, et le pianiste Michael Lifits font une lecture engagée de ces deux partitions de Prokofiev. Véritable synthèse de son style, ces sonates sont caractérisées par un classicisme formel subverti par une virtuosité flamboyante. Leur lyrisme, rongé par l’ironie savoureuse et mordante d’un langage moderne, fruit d’une vision critique du monde, n’en est que plus poignant.

From shadow to light: that’s the emotional ascent traced by Sergei Prokofiev's Violin and Piano Sonatas. They were published in the 1940s, an intense period of creation for the Russian musician who then works on his ballet Cinderella and his Fifth Symphony.

The violinist Alexandra Conunova, winner of the prestigious Tchaikovski competition in 2015, and the pianist Michael Lifits are physically involved in their performance of these two scores, which are a perfect synthesis of Prokofiev’s musical style. These sonatas are characterized by a formal classicism subverted by a bold virtuosity. Their lyricism, tormented by the irony of a modern harmonic language that is the outgrowth of a critical vision of the world, is all the more poignant.
