Vladimir Jurowski conducts the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia in this 2017 SACD recording of two Prokofiev symphonies from the early 20th century. These works sit between Romantic traditions and modernist innovation, with the Second Symphony in D minor displaying energetic angularity and the Third in C minor showing darker, more atmospheric textures. Jurowski brings clarity to Prokofiev's complex orchestrations, and the SACD format captures the full warmth and detail of the Russian orchestra's sound. A compelling introduction to Prokofiev's symphonic vision.
