Igor Levit is joined by his protégé Lukas Sternath in an exploration of the seemingly boundless creative universe of Prokofiev’s late piano sonatas, works shaped by global conflict and Stalinist oppression. With Levit taking on Sonata No. 9 and Sternath No. 7, the two then come together in Shostakovich's own arrangement of his Symphony No. 10, which the composer would perform - and in 1954 recorded - with his friend and colleague, Mieczysław Weinberg.
