Half Six Fix: Prokofiev 7: Symphony No. 7 in C-sharp minor, Op. 131 Prokofiev

Absorb Prokofiev’s wistful final symphony in the relaxed atmosphere of this early-evening concert.

The Seventh Symphony was commissioned by the Soviet state radio for children. But while it recalls treasured memories of the composer’s youth, this final symphony contains a deeper message of farewell.

It begins with yearning strings, summons childhood with flute and glockenspiel, remembers happy times in a whirling waltz, and ends with the tick-tock of the composer’s beating heart. The symphony was premiered in October 1952; Shostakovich would die in March 1953, on the same day as Stalin.
