'The School of Night' was Shakespeare's nickname for an Elizabethan literary group founded by Sir Walter Ralegh. Among its members were such nobles as the Earl of Northumberland (known as 'The Wizard Earl') and such poets as Marlowe and Chapman. Under the tutelage of Thomas Harriot, the mathematician, they studied theology, astronomy, philosophy, geography, and chemistry.

Jeremy Noble talks in particular about the Cello Concerto whose material was recast in the Sinfonia Concertante, and examines the light this throws on Prokofiev's changing ideals as a composer.
