http://www.prokofiev.org/prokofievans/violinists.html
rokofiev was not as prolific in the violin repetoire as he was in piano. As a result, there is unfortunately not a significant body of violin and chamber work to which violinists could 'dedicate' their efforts. However, this is not to say there haven't been venerable great violinists who championed Prokofiev's work. The most important violinist in Prokofiev's life was David Oistrakh , who collaborated with Prokofiev in some of his violin works and recorded all of Prokofiev's violin repetoire multiple times. Several of today's brightest violinist have recorded most of Prokofiev's major violin works with spectacular results. Others, like have recorded very little of Prokofiev's violin repetoire, yet frequently play his works in public recitals and show a profound understanding of his music.
Greats from the Past:
David Oistrakh

Jascha Heifetz

Contemporary Greats:

YOUTHFUL VIOLIN-PIANO DUO GIL AND ORLI SHAHAM
TO PERFORM FULL-LENGTH RECITAL
Both in their 20s, the Shahams are "a marvelous and happy team, apparently born to play chamber music together," according to The Arizona Republic. The Shahams are also noted for their "complete understanding of every little nook and cranny" of the works they perform and their ability to "seemingly blend into one person" with near perfect sync and plenty of eye contact (Rocky Mountain News, 1997). The team will perform Aaron Copland's Sonata for Violin and Piano and Gabriel Fauré's Sonata in A Major during the first half of the recital followed by Brahms' "Hungarian Dances" and Sonata No. 3 during the second half of the program. Gil Shaham performs with the world's leading orchestras and at the Aspen, Hollywood Bowl, Ravinia and Tanglewood festivals, also making frequent television appearances. His recent CDs have all become best sellers, including his recording of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons."

THE BOSTON GLOBE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2001 Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston Max Hobart, Music Director and Conductor At: Jordan Hall, Sunday Lee's 'War and Peace' Premieres By Richard Buell, Boston Globe Correspondent THE BOSTON GLOBE Monday November 20, 2000 Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston Max Hobart, Music Director and Conductor Cecylia Arzewski, violin At: Jordan Hall 11/1//9/2000 Arzewski triumphs in return By Ellen Pfeffer, Boston Globe Correspondent Back in the '70s and '80s, Cecylia Arzewski was a young member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, ultimately becoming an assistant concertmaster. She was an indelible character: opinionated, perpetually dissatisfied, outspoken, impolitic, nonconformist, a limit-tester. But she was a gifted violinist who might have gotten stuck in a professional rut because she wasn't good at institutional game playing. Wisely, she got out of town. After a stint as associate concertmaster at the Cleveland Orchestra and now serving as concertmaster of the Atlanta Symphony, Arzewski returned to Boston yesterday afternoon to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto with her old BSO colleague, Max Hobart, and his orchestra. The occasion reminded this listener (who hadn't heard the violinist since her BSO days) of the school reunion where the class nerd comes back as Bill Gates or the dreamy bohemian appears as a prize-winning author. That is to say it was a triumph.
