Rafael Orozco is acclaimed as one of the great Spanish concert pianists. His professional career began after he won first prize in the 1966 Leeds International Piano Competition in the UK. His large repertoire included works by Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Manuel de Falla, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Isaac Albéniz.
Here he performs a stunning programme of music by the master composers Robert Schumann, Frédéric Chopin, and Isaac Albéniz, capped off by the feature piece of Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 14.
The Piano Sonata No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 14 (1912), is a sonata composed for solo piano. It was premiered on February 5, 1914 in Moscow with the composer performing. Prokofiev dedicated the work to his friend and fellow student at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Maximilian Schmidthof, who committed suicide in 1913.
