Lalo & Prokofiev: Antiche danze et aria per liuto, Suite No. 1 (+2 More)

Sanselige spanske toner og russisk hymne
I slutningen af det 19. århundrede voksede en dyb fascination for den varmblodede livsførelse og kultur på den iberiske halvø. Nogenlunde samtidig med at Bizet komponerede sin succesfulde spanskfarvede opera, Carmen, komponerede Lalo sin Symphonie espagnole for soloviolin og orkester. Musikken emmer af spansk varmblodet rytme, og den sanselige og dragende musik tager publikum med under de varme, sydlige himmelstrøg.

Da Prokofjevs 5. symfoni blev uropført i januar 1945 i Moskva under ledelse af komponisten selv, blev den rolige og smukke begyndelse forstyrret af et større artilleriangreb. Prokofjev stoppede musikken og ventede til at angrebet var overstået, og fremførte herefter symfonien til publikums store begejstring. Symfonien blev af Prokofjev kaldt ”en hymne til det frie og lykkelige menneske, til dets mægtige kræfter, dets rene og ædle ånd”. Den medrivende, intense og smukke symfoni har lige siden været et af Prokofjevs mest spillede værker.

Sensual Spanish tones and Russian anthem
At the end of the 19th century, a deep fascination grew for the hot-blooded way of life and culture of the Iberian Peninsula. At about the same time as Bizet composed his successful Spanish-tinged opera, Carmen, Lalo composed his Symphonie espagnole for solo violin and orchestra. The music exudes Spanish warm-blooded rhythm, and the sensual and alluring music takes the audience under the warm, southern skies.

When Prokofiev's 5th Symphony was first performed in January 1945 in Moscow under the direction of the composer himself, the calm and beautiful beginning was disturbed by a major artillery attack. Prokofiev stopped the music and waited until the attack was over, and then performed the symphony to the great excitement of the audience. The symphony was called by Prokofiev "a hymn to the free and happy man, to his mighty powers, his pure and noble spirit". The riveting, intense and beautiful symphony has been one of Prokofiev's most played works ever since.
