| Note: | |
Prokofiev returned to Russia permanently in 1933, during a period when the political system was placing harsh restraints on composers’ creativity and musical expression. This climate continued until Prokofiev’s death in 1953, which makes his Symphony No 5 all the more remarkable in its optimism and brightness. It was conceived by Prokofiev as a symphony of the greatness of the human spirit, a song of praise of free and happy mankind. Chopin's Piano Concerto No 2 is similarly hopeful in its expressive content. It was composed when Chopin was only 19, already an internationally successful pianist, and full of (unrequited) love: circumstances that conspired to produce a romantic and moving work. |
