Composer of the Week: Prokofiev

on BBC Radio 3

2: Revolution in the Air. Donald Macleod looks at how the earth-shaking events that took place in Russia during 1917 affected the work of Prokofiev. With a few exceptions, most of the pieces the young Russian composed around this turbulent time - including masterpieces such as the Classical Symphony- are devoid of evidence of revolutionary turmoil, even though the composer went into exile.
