Prokofiev’s “Symphony No. 5”!\n\nSelected as the next principal conductor to succeed Esa-Pekka Salonen—who spent 12 seasons in a golden era with the San Francisco Symphony before transitioning to the role of music director— Santtu-Matthias Rouvali, a young prodigy from Finland, is set to take the helm beginning with the 2021–2022 season.\nEven before officially assuming the role of principal conductor, he has already established a solid relationship of trust with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Having delivered breathtaking performances—most notably “Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake,” has been hailed as a new “golden duo,” receiving rave reviews not only in the UK but around the world. For his second recording with the orchestra, Louvali has chosen Prokofiev’s “Symphony No. 5”!\n\nProkofiev’s “Symphony No. 5” was written in one go in 1944 at his dacha in Ivanovo, on the outskirts of Moscow, in the midst of the German-Soviet War (Eastern Front), which broke out following the abrogation of the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact.\nCompleted a full 14 years after his previous work, “Symphony No. 4,” this fifth symphony is known as a monumental work—assigned “Op. 100”—and is regarded as a masterpiece imbued with the composer’s love for his homeland. Prokofiev himself stated, “This symphony is a hymn to free and happy people, to their immense strength, and to their pure and noble souls.” It is known as a monumental work—designated “Op. 100”—and as a representative masterpiece imbued with the composer’s love for his homeland.\n\nIn early February 2020, just before the spread of COVID-19 began in earnest in the UK, Rouvali and the Philharmonia Orchestra performed Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 at their home venue, the Royal Festival Hall. Their overwhelming performance signaled the dawn of a new era and demonstrated the remarkable maturity of this artistic partnership. It was a true display of brilliance. Stay tuned for Louvari’s spectacular performances in the UK!\nTokyo M Plus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Signum Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53374660739361,"sku":"4947182115374","price":2829.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4947182115374.jpg?v=1787632243","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4947182115374","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
