Over three consecutive days, Igor Levit sets off on a marathon with Sergei Prokofiev's five brilliant piano concertos, which span the young composer's unbridled creativity through to his mature mastery in kaleidoscopic fashion. Levit is accompanied by the Budapest Festival Orchestra, conducted by Iván Fischer, which is very familiar with this kind of tour de force. In his first piano concerto, Sergei Prokofiev amazes with his rhythmic effervescence and sharp-tongued percussiveness. In addition to this and the fifth piano concerto, the work of a seemingly "liberated time" can be heard: the fifth "Symphony of the Greatness of the Human Spirit", whose premiere in 1945 was accompanied by the announcement of the victorious Red Army.
