London Symphony Orchestra Conductor Valery Gergiev
Recorded on Sunday at the Barbican Hall,
London. Gergiev and the LSO continue their complete Prokofiev symphonic cycle with two works spanning the longest symphony-less period of Prokofiev's composing career. The Fifth, one of his best-loved symphonies, was composed towards the end of World War Two, almost 15 years after the original version of the Fourth. Presented by Tommy Pearson.
