“(…) Although the three works were all identifiably Prokofiev, there was considerable contrast between the three works, and guest conductor Stéphane Denève was impressive in illuminating significant aspects of the composer’s career.
(…) Denève made the most of the many contrasted passages in the suite, with textural detail. (…)
This concert was the best so far in the current season, with Denève’s incisive conducting, and especially the brilliant playing by James Ehnes, making it a night to remember.”
