Prokofiev - Symphony No. 5, Op. 100

Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Sergei Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, Op. 100. Soloist is Japanese violinist Fumiaki Miura. Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 was composed during WWII and is often referred to as the 'War Symphony’. Prokofiev composed the work in the summer of 1944. At that moment the Soviets were pushing back the Germans from in the East, and the allies had landed on the beaches of Normandy. Prokofiev was sheltering from the war at a special House for Creativity for composers, at about a day’s journey of Moscow. The retreat was set up by the Union of Soviet Composers to provide an idyllic setting for composition. This concert was recorded at the Gothenburg Concert Hall (Konserthuset) in Sweden, 2020.
