Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) – The Complete Symphonies – Jarvi – CD 2 (Repostagem com novos links)

Este segundo Cd da integral as sinfonias de Prokofiev traz as de n° 2 e n°6.

A Segunda Sinfonia foi escrita entre 1924 e 1925, em Paris, onde estreou, ainda em 1925. Sua recepção não foi muito boa, Prokofiev comenta em carta a um amigo: I have made the music so complex to such an extent that when I listen to it myself I do not fathom its essence, so what can I ask of others?

Esta é a peça menos executada do compositor, inclusive ele previa fazer uma revisão de toda a obra, porém morreu antes. De acordo com a Wikipedia: Prokofiev based the symphony’s overall structure, of a tempestuous minor-key first movement followed by a set of variations, on Beethoven’s last piano sonata (Op. 111). The first movement, in traditional sonata form, is rhythmically unrelenting, harmonically dissonant, and texturally thick. The second movement, twice as long as the first, is a set of variations based on a diatonic theme played by a plaintive oboe, giving a strong contrast to the defiant coda of the 1st movement. The subsequent variations contrast moments of beautiful meditation with cheeky playfulness, while the last variation integrates the theme with the violence of the first movement, reaching an inevitable climax. The symphony ends with a touching reinstatement of the initial oboe theme, eventually dispelled by an eerie chord on the strings.

Após esta peça difícil, temos a Sexta Sinfonia, escrita como uma elegia à tragédia que foi a Segunda Guerra Mundial, que recém tinha acabado. E foi a obra que o indispôs com o regime estalinista, pois ela não se enquadrava nos padrões que o partido determinava naquela época.
