A powerful new orchestral recording featuring the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko, performing Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 7 in C-sharp minor, Op. 131 and Nikolai Myaskovsky’s Sinfonietta in A major, Op. 68, No. 2. This album offers a compelling journey through two distinct yet complementary works from the Soviet era. Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 7, his final completed symphony, is a deeply lyrical and introspective piece composed in 1952. Often interpreted as a farewell to life and creativity, the work is rich in melodic beauty and emotional nuance, balancing nostalgia with quiet defiance. In contrast, Myaskovsky’s Sinfonietta, written in 1945, radiates neoclassical charm and clarity, showcasing his gift for elegant orchestration and structural finesse.01 Symphony No. 7, Op. 131_ I.
