Complementing the more familiar piano sonatas, Prokofiev’s shorter but by no means slighter piano works span his entire career, from the precociously brilliant Four Etudes, Op 2 and Four Pieces, Op 3, via the neo-classical Four Pieces, Op 32, the powerfully trenchant Sonatinas, Op 54 and the colourful Fifth Sonata, to his final unfinished Tenth Sonata. One of the most exciting performers of his generation, DongKyu Kim won first prize at the 2010 San Marino International Competition and the highest award at the 2009 International Jeunesses Musicales Competition Belgrade.


   




Review By James Harrington,American Record Guide,May 2013

Kim, a dynamic, exciting young pianist with seemingly limitless technique, gives us world class performances.

Naxos offers excellent sound and great program notes. I have to give this release a strong recommendation and add that there should be several more Prokofieff discs in Kim’s future. There are many groups of short pieces from this great Russian composer that deserve this kind of talent. © 2013 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide



Review By Jordi Caturla González,Ritmo,May 2013

DonKyu Kim, ganador del concurso pianístico San Marino en 2010, nos ofrece un interesante monográfico de Prokofiev, compuesto principalmente por obras breves sólo habituales en las integrales. Los Cuatro estudios Op. 2 que abren el disco ponen de manifiesto la descomunal técnica de Kim, que combina la explosividad de las dinámicas altas con un fraseo perfecto y un gran sentido del cantabile. Las Op. 3 y 32 de Cuatro piezas muestran que el coreano también es capaz de tocar delicada y expresivamente; en este sentido, el último vals es todo un ejemplo de sensibilidad. La preocupación por la articulación y las dinámicas puntuales es una constante en el disco, y las sonatinas

Review By Robert Cummings,Classical Net,February 2013

…DongKyu Kim…is obviously a hugely talented pianist…his manner is quite thrilling and fully convincing. Kim plays the exceedingly challenging Andante semplice brilliantly.

The Four Pieces, Op. 3, are…youthful works of considerable appeal…Kim plays the entire set as well as anyone I’ve heard.

In the…substantive Op. 32 set of Four Pieces, Kim effectively brings out the humor, quaint character and subtleties of each of these works. The Minuet is especially charming…

The two sonatinas are given spirited, totally convincing readings…Kim manages to bring them to life with a lyrical sense and brilliant colors.
