Prokofiev’s three War Sonatas, so called because they were composed between 1939 and 1944, a period of relentless global conflict and bloodshed, amount to an immense triptych in which the composer confronts audience and pianist alike with music of herculean energy and relentless intensity. Boris Giltburg was praised by the Telegraph for ‘digging deep into the fabric of the music to illuminate its emotional content and harnessing an authoritative bravura to underline the savagery and nervy energy that the scores often convey’ in his acclaimed 2012 recording of these deeply affecting works.
