Prokofiev's Symphony No.2 is a beautiful and exquisitely fashioned gem, inspired by the early 20th century's fascination with mechanics and industry, and the everchanging world during that era. Franz Welser-Möst sees the work as \"a fascinating examination both of the World War itself and a reflection on how it changed people's views. This is a far-sighted view of Modernity, and shows us an Expressionist spirit that is still deeply moving - and disturbing - today.\" Schnittke's Concerto for Piano and Strings, featuring pianist Yefim Bronfman with the orchestra's strings, was recorded at Cleveland's Severance Hall, during the midst of Covid-19 restrictions, as part of the orchestra's new In Focus digital broadcast series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Schnittke:Concerto for Piano and Strings, Op.136 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Prokofiev: Symphony No.2 in D Minor Op.40 I: Allegro ben articolato \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Prokofiev: Symphony No.2 in D Minor Op.40 IIa: Theme and Variations – Theme.
