Prokofiev's lively Classical Symphony takes Haydn's symphonies as its affectionate model, successfully updating the form to the early twentieth century.

Shostakovich's is one of the finest twentieth century violin concertos. Its four movements include a hushed and poignant nocturne, an imaginative set of variations over a repeated bass line, and an unstoppable finale. His dazzling First Symphony reflects the optimism and experimentation of the early 1920s, while showing signs of how the nineteen-year-old composer would mature.

The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts' Orchestra in Partnership.
