Symphony No. 1 "Classical" / Symphony No. 5

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 1 "Classical" and Symphony No. 5 are orchestral works by Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1917 and 1944 respectively. The two pieces contrast the light, Classical-inspired clarity and playful textures of the early symphony with the expansive, dramatic orchestration and intense, historically conditioned gravitas of the later work, illustrating Prokofiev's development from neoclassical forms to a more monumental, expressive orchestral language in the context of his career and the broader musical landscape.

First released: 15th June 1993
