在這張中收錄的三件作品是來自普羅高菲夫的晚年時期. 儘管他日益衰退的健康狀況和處於壓迫的政治氣氛中, 這位作曲家仍獲得偉大的音樂家們的支持, 尤其是大提琴家羅斯托波維契(Mstislav Rostropovitch). 這種關係促成了他大提琴作品的創作. 第一件是(交響協奏曲), 這是將較早期的大提琴協奏曲改良更新的版本. 就如同在普羅高菲夫所有的大型創作中, 我們可發現明顯的對比與對立的表達手法, 並列著各種令人不安的情緒, 強烈的言詞和突然跟隨著的柔和反省的段落.

無伴奏大提琴奏鳴曲是一件未完成的作品: 在這張中可聽到的是由俄羅斯音樂學家佛拉迪米爾.布洛克(Vladimir Blok)完成的一份廣闊流暢的行板樂章. 最後一件是莊嚴富有詩意的大提琴與鋼琴奏鳴曲, 仿佛像在蘇聯獨裁政權中的一片寧靜的綠洲. 此作品格式簡潔明瞭, 沒有任何會令當權者震驚的內容. 歸因於其從頭到尾豐富的旋律, 此作品是普羅高菲夫最佳的作品之一. 技術性的挑戰並沒有缺席, 可從大提琴技術的廣泛運用獲得驗證.

本片由克里斯蒂安.波特拉演奏, 這三件作品見證了普羅高菲夫生命晚期的創作活力, 用一種簡單清晰的音樂語言聯結面對逆境時的生命力的一種新感覺.

The three works gathered here date from Sergei Prokofiev's last years. Despite his declining health as well as the oppressive political climate, the composer could count on the support of great musicians, in particular the cellist Mstislav Rostropovitch. The relationship contributed to the writing of works for cello. The first was the Symphony-Concerto, an improved reworking of a much earlier cello concerto. As in all of Prokofiev's large-scale compositions, we find striking gestures of contrast and confrontation, disturbing juxtapositions of mood, powerful rhetoric followed by sudden passages of tender reflection.

The Sonata for Cello solo is an unfinished work: a broad and eloquent Andante is heard here in the completion by Vladimir Blok. Finally, the solemn and poetic Sonata for Cello and Piano seems like an oasis of serenity in the midst of Soviet dictatorship. In a clear form devoid of anything that might have shocked the authorities, the work belongs to Prokofiev's best works thanks to its wealth of melody, from beginning to end. Technical challenges are not absent, as demonstrated by the huge range of cello techniques.

Performed by Christian Poltera, these three works bear witness to Prokofiev's creative vitality in the evening of his life, expressed in a simple, clear musical language linked to a new sense of vitality in the face of adversity.
