Symphony no. 1 "Classical" / Symphony no. 5
Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Eugene Ormandy
Symphony No. 1 "Classical" and Symphony No. 5 are orchestral works by Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1917 and 1944 respectively. They contrast Prokofiev's neo-Classical leanings, characterised by transparent textures and classical forms, with his later expansive, dramatic symphonic idiom marked by broader orchestration, intensified harmony and a tone reflecting the pressures of the mid-20th century.
