BRSO mit Franz Welser-Möst

In the organizer's words:

Seven years after the cheerfully ironic Symphonie classique, Prokofiev's Second was to be a work "of steel and iron" - and with the torn, dissonant sounds, he delivered the cutting torch straight away. The rarely performed work was called "brutal", "painful" and "unloved". But certainly not by Franz Welser-Möst - he holds it in high esteem. Just like Tchaikovsky's Fifth, his "Fate Symphony", about which the composer wrote: "After every performance, I become more and more convinced that my last symphony is a failed work. It has turned out to be too colorful, too bulky, too insincere, too long and generally unappealing. Should the beginning of the end really have already begun?" It became one of the most popular orchestral works of all time.
