Most of this music, excluding Romeo and Juliet, comes from an LP that was Yekaterina Ervy-Novitskaya's debut U.S. release. It caused a minor sensation at the time, as critics generally agreed it contained some of the most flavorful Prokofiev performances ever recorded. She was only 18 at the time, and had just won first prize in the Queen Elizabeth of Belgium competition. But only a few years later, she moved to Belgium and gave up concert playing to raise a family. Since these performances still sound as superb as they did when they were first released, I hope the concert comeback mentioned in the program notes goes well. This is a pianist I'd pay money to hear. --Leslie Gerber
