Symphony no. 5 / Lieutenant Kijé Suite

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Andreas Schmidt & Berliner Philharmoniker & Seiji Ozawa

Symphony No. 5 / Lieutenant Kijé Suite is an album of orchestral works by Sergei Prokofiev, with the symphony composed in 1944 and the suite originating in 1934. The music juxtaposes broad, heroic symphonic writing and dense orchestral textures with lighter, satirical chamber-like passages, reflecting a mature phase in Prokofiev's career that balances wartime seriousness with earlier theatrical wit and economy of thematic material.
First released: 1991
