Sergei Prokofiev was himself a great pSergei Prokofiev was himself a great pianist. Which is why his piano works are as virtuosic as they are enjoyable to play. Even the pieces from his ballet Romeo and Juliet sound almost better on the piano than with the orchestra. So it’s no wonder that great pianists love to program these miniatures – Seong-Jin Cho, who lives in Berlin, has been one of the most prominent among them for years. In his program, he combines Prokofiev with Mozart – and with a sonata by Jörg Widmann which, with its nickname "Sonata facile," clearly harks back to the Salzburg classic.
