Prokofiev's second violin concerto was written in the same summer as the ballet Romeo and Juliet, and shares its drama and lyricism. The tender slow movement is one of the composer's most beautiful, while the finale is an exuberant dance.
Rachmaninov's Second Symphony is a richly scored, full-blooded masterpiece. The first three movements are all to varying degrees based on the same falling theme, while the finale is a joyous outburst of fanfares and celebration.
