The New York Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Leonard Bernstein
?Prokofiev?s Symphony No. 5 is one of just a
handful of traditional Russian works that have
advanced to become a celebrated repertoire piece
in the area of conflict between socialist artistic
realism and conservative modernism. Although, in
contrast to his colleague Shostakovich, Prokofiev
toed the party line and was highly privileged,
which made it very difficult to believe his later
claim that his art was free of politics, his music
has touched the hearts of concertgoers all over
the world.
In the present recording, the cosmopolitan Leonard
Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic present
the whole beauty of the melodies that unfold in
the first movement with full orchestral radiance.
Cheerfulness as a ?hymn to free and happy Man? is
given voice in the clarinet theme of the burlesque
second movement with its imaginative changes.
Reminiscences of the 'Symphonie classique' appear
to be intentional. In the finale, Prokofiev proves
himself to be a confident master of the
classical-romantic canon form, which uses the
theme of the first movement and new motifs to
create far more than just a melodious apotheosis.
Jagged, sharp and percussive final bars round off
this supreme orchestral firework, which makes
great demands on every single musician.
