You’ve got a friend in me… or a frenemy?

Contemporaries Sergueï Prokofiev and Igor Stravinsky shared a mutual respect – bar the odd criticism or side eye. Stravinsky, with his dry sense of humour, described Prokofiev as the greatest Russian composer of his time… after himself, of course! His story of the puppet Petrouchka conjures up parallel themes of rivalry, as love leads to jealousy, rage and murder. Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto N° 3 on the other hand has not always been friendly to performers and was described by the composer himself as being «devilishly difficult»! Let the Wiener Philharmoniker transport you to distant lands as they bring a taste of Slavic folk music and virtuosity.
