Yevgeny Kutik - The Death of Juliet and Other Tales - Music of Prokofiev (2021) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Russian-American violinist Yevgeny Kutik has announced his new album, The Death of Juliet and Other Tales on Marquis Classics, highlighting Russia's rich history of folklore and folktales portrayed in the music of Prokofiev. The album also features world premiere recordings of traditional Russian folk songs in new arrangements by Kutik, Michael Gandolfi, and Kati Agócs, commissioned specifically for the album. Available digitally on November 26, 2021 with CDs to come in early 2022, the album was recorded with pianist Anna Polonsky and produced by Grammy Award winner Jesse Lewis.

The Death of Juliet and Other Tales is meant to be a weaving of tales, a gossamer connecting Prokofiev's Solo Sonata for Violin, Sonata No. 2, Op. 94a, and the exquisite "Parting Scene and Death of Juliet" (arr. Borisovsky) from Romeo and Juliet, to five Russian folk melodies Kutik fell in love with as a child: Kalinka (arr. Agócs), Yablochka (arr. Gandolfi), V Pole Bereza Stoyala (arr. Kutik) Song of the Volga Boatmen (arr. Gandolfi), and V Lesu Rodilas Elochka (arr. Kutik) - a beloved children's folk song synonymous with Christmas.
