Prokofiev: Piano Concertos 2 & 5
This disc is part of the best complete series of Prokofiev's piano  concertos I have heard. Kun Woo Paik takes on the fearsome Second Concerto, a  powerfully expressive and monstrously difficult piece, with fearless abandon.  His playing is really thrilling, and Antoni Wit and the orchestra handle their  end of things--which is also very difficult--just as well. Then the performers  switch gears entirely for the enigmatic, quirky Fifth Concerto, which they  perform just as convincingly. It isn't often that performances of this quality  show up at such bargain prices, so my advice would be to grab this while you  can. Excellent recording, too.--Leslie Gerber
