Extract

A traditional four-movement violin concerto might seem a departure from the grime-influenced crossover language of the composer of the infamous Concerto for Turntables (given its Proms premiere in 2011). However, in many ways Gabriel Prokofiev's first Violin Concerto, commissioned by the BBC for Daniel Hope and the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra, is a highly satisfactory step in the composer's artistic trajectory.
