"The Macedonian pianist doesn't go in for dark introspection - slow themes tend to be inquisitive rather than outright melancholy - and makes an exception to the rule that all Prokofiev should be laced with sarcasm and subversion. The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra sounds seriously good under Vasily Petrenko".

"In short, this is a hit; the most satisfying performances of these concertos I've heard in a long while. I wonder if they're thinking about embarking on a series?".

"Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, pianist Anna Shelest began studying piano at the age of six ... A multiple award-winning artist, she won her first competition when she was only eleven at the Milosz Magin International Piano Competition ... Recorded in the Czech Republic in 2014, this release features Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concertos Nos 1 and 2. These works were written early on in Prokofiev's career and feature his virtuosic and wildly dissonant style which propelled him to fame".

"Trpčeski's approach here is a winning combination of the muscular and the lyrical, finding moments of great beauty in the barnstorming first concerto and knocking the socks off bravura passages int the third ... He is matched by playing of tremendous panache and virtuosity from Petrenko's players ... The overture makes a delightful, if hardly generous, makeweight".

"Ohne aber neue Perspektiven aufreissen zu können: Trpceski bewältigt die erheblichen Anforderungen des Klavierparts hochrangig mit schlanker Perfektion, das Orchester ist ebenfalls untadelig".

"Simon Trpčeski and Vasily Petrenko work exceptionally well together in delivering musically insightful and rhythmically dynamic performances. The same virtues are present in this compelling Prokofiev programme, in particular the vivid sense of interaction between soloist and orchestra which is so essential in these effervescent works ... This is a promising first disc in what presumably will be a complete Prokofiev Piano Concerto series".

"[These] Prokofiev recordings are every bit as polished and satisfying as I remember from live accounts (of the Third Concerto) in Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall ... Thoroughly musical accounts, beautifully rehearsed so that orchestra and piano can have an equal share in the action".
