"The score to the enigmatic Sonata for Violin Solo dates from 1947 - an extremely difficult time when Prokofiev was the target of much damaging criticism by the Soviet authorities...A mix of yearning melody and brash virtuosity..." (Michael Cookson, "MusicWeb International")
"...This is playing that truly grabs you by the scruff of the neck and commands attention. So, too, is Ehnes's in the solo sonata, a work from towards the end of Prokofiev's life but still one in which he was able to harness his energies and his distinctive personality." (Telegraph, 04/10/13)
