Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Государственный cимфонический оркестр Министерства культуры СССР & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky

This release compiles two ballets by Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1927 and 1932. The music combines neoclassical orchestration, sharp rhythmic drive and contrasting lyrical passages, reflecting Prokofiev's exploration of modernist techniques and his transition in approach to ballet between the late 1920s and early 1930s.
