PROKOFIEV: Violin Concerto No.2
SHOSTAKOVICH: Symphony No.8
Between them Hitler and Stalin represent the worst in 20th century political leaders. They are linked in Shostakovich's war-time Symphony, an attempt to show optimism in the face of the most horrible adversity. Meanwhile Prokofiev was busy travelling through north Africa and southern Europe as he wrote his Second Violin Concerto, which colourfully evokes many of the sounds he experienced on his travels abroad.
