Prokofiev and Brahms from Glasgow

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra and violinist Aylen Pritchin perform Prokofiev and Brahms with conductor Maxim Emelyanychev.

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra and violinist Aylen Pritchin perform music by Prokofiev and Brahms with conductor Maxim Emelyanychev.

Prokofiev finished his first symphony in 1917, whilst exempt from serving in World War I. He wrote in his diary 鈥榤y real friends will understand that the style of my symphony is really Mozartian and classical...and the public will probably be glad that it is uncomplicated and merry.鈥� His Second Violin Concerto, written nearly 20 years later sees Prokofiev in a more lyrical romantic mode, similar to the sound and style of his ballet music for Romeo and Juliet. After the interval Brahms calls for a bigger orchestra, adding trombones and tuba to fit his ambitions for an expansive Second Symphony.
Recorded at Glasgow City Halls on 6 December 2024.
