  • Sergey Prokofiev
    A PORTRAIT Sergey Prokofiev 1891–1953 Preface Modish confidence and malignant conformity – two extremes that reflect the mores of western liberalism on the one hand and Soviet totalitarianism on the other – are the contradictory social and political poles that shaped the artistic and personal world of Prokofiev. While enjoying the former, and enduring the latter, he displayed an outstandingly original and fertile creativity that places him among the most distinctive and attractive musical voices of the twentieth century. Both his popularity and his status as one of the great composers of recent times are assured, for his music is devoid of intellectual posturing. Rarely does he sacrifice rigorous authenticity for artifice, or exchange well-wrought organic structure for glamour and superficiality. Prokofiev’s orchestral sonorities can be percussively steely and ironic one minute and poignantly romantic and witty the next, but they are always governed by a personal sincerity and fundamental musical honesty. The twentieth century witnessed many trends in music, some of which were self- conscious and indulgent, while others were simply blind alleys. Prokofiev, however, remained largely unaffected by strict artistic creeds (whether self-imposed or compulsorily enforced), and managed to maintain a distinctly independent musical voice that listeners continue to find refreshing.

  • Oxana Yablonskaya
    Oxana Yablonskaya Oxana Yablonskaya’s charismatic piano playing and profound interpretations have brought her acclaim for over thirty years. Known for her powerhouse virtuosity, exquisite sensitivity, and deep emotional drive, Ms. Yablonskaya has enchanted audiences worldwide. Oxana Yablonskaya was born in Moscow. As an adolescent, she attended The Moscow Central School for the gifted children under the tutelage of great Anaida Sumbatyan, with whom she worked with until the age of 16. She later studied at the Conservatory of Moscow with the legendary Aleksandre Goldenweiser. At 22, she began a professional relationship with Tatiana Nikolayeva in the Doctorate Program, later acting as her assistant at the Moscow Conservatory. Following graduation with high honors, she was introduced to the Western World in Paris at the Jacques Long-Thibaud Competition in 1963, the Rio de Janeiro Competition in 1965, and the Vienna Beethoven Competition in 1969. She won top prizes in all three competitions, and received numerous invitations for return engagements, but because of the Cold War, was not allowed to do so. While still in the USSR, Ms. Yablonskaya performed Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto #1 with the Moscow Philharmonic under conductor Yury Simonov at the Composers Jubilee Concert in the Kremlin. She was the first performer to play Rodion Shchedrin’s “Basso Ostinato,” which became her signature piece. Her status as a consummate professional was heightened by many prominent Soviet and foreign composers dedicating their music to her. Despite the reputation she had earned within the Soviet Union and being a prize winner of three international competitions, she was never permitted to play outside the Eastern Bloc.
