Visions and retrospectives
Sergei Prokofiev looks back in his Symphony No. 7 - Øyvind Torvund looks into the future in his Two Symphonic Poems. Denis Kozhukin is the soloist in George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and Vasily Petrenko conducts.

Øyvind Torvund (b. 1976) wrote Two symphonic poems for the Oslo Philharmonic, which premiered them with Vasily Petrenko in 2019. The first poem is called Morning in the forest− a scene where the forest wakes up to idyllic birdsong but is gradually taken over by traffic and noise. Torvund wants to create an organic soundscape in the music without using authentic sounds from nature. The second piece, A Trip into the Future, begins with a march and a whistled melody that illustrates that someone is going on a trip. On the way, the walkers meet robots and many more unknowns.

George Gershwin (1898–1937) wrote his first significant hit Swanee in 1919. He wrote Broadway musicals for the next few years while studying classical music theory and orchestration. In 1922 he wrote Blue Monday, a kind of jazz opera that combined elements from jazz and classical music. The following year, Gershwin was asked by famous bandleader Paul Whiteman if he could write a piece for piano and jazz orchestra. In February 1924, George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue was played for the very first time in his hometown of New York and was a huge success.

Sergei Prokofiev (1891–1953) left his native Russia during the revolution in 1917. After almost 20 years in the West, he returned as a famous composer. During the Second World War, he experienced great success, but after the war, Stalin sharpened his hard line towards artists, and Prokofiev lived his last years in fear, in poor health and poor. Symphony No. 7 from 1952 is reminiscent of Prokofiev's ballets Cinderella and Romeo and Juliet and has been interpreted as a nostalgic look back at the composer's childhood.

Visjoner og tilbakeblikk
Sergej Prokofjev ser seg tilbake i sin Symfoni nr. 7 – Øyvind Torvund ser inn i fremtiden i sine To symfoniske dikt. Denis Kozhukin er solist i George Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue og Vasily Petrenko dirigerer.

Øyvind Torvund (f. 1976) skrev To symfoniske dikt for Oslo-filharmonien, som urfremførte dem sammen med Vasily Petrenko i 2019. Det første diktet heter Morgon i skogen − en scene der skogen våkner til idyllisk fuglesang, men gradvis overtas av trafikk og støy. Torvund ønsker å skape en organisk lydverden i musikken, uten å bruke autentiske lyder fra naturen. Det andre stykket, Ein tur inn i framtida, begynner med en marsj og en plystret melodi som illustrerer at noen skal ut på tur. På veien møter turgåerne roboter og mye annet ukjent.

George Gershwin (1898–1937) skrev sin første store hit Swanee i 1919. De neste årene skrev han Broadway-musikaler mens han studerte klassisk musikkteori og orkestrering. I 1922 skrev han Blue Monday, en slags jazzopera som kombinerte elementer fra jazz og klassisk musikk. Året etter fikk Gershwin spørsmål fra berømte bandlederen Paul Whiteman om han kunne skrive et stykke for piano og jazzorkester. I februar 1924 ble George Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue spilt for aller første gang i hans hjemby New York, og ble en kjempesuksess.

Sergej Prokofjev (1891–1953) forlot hjemlandet Russland under revolusjonen i 1917. Etter nesten 20 år i Vesten vendte han tilbake som en berømt komponist. Under andre verdenskrig opplevde han stor suksess, men etter krigen skjerpet Stalin sin hard linje overfor kunstnere, og Prokofjev levde sine siste år i frykt, med dårlig helse og dårlig råd. Symfoni nr. 7 fra 1952 kan minne om Prokofjevs balletter Askepott og Romeo og Julie, og har blitt tolket som et nostalgisk tilbakeblikk på komponistens barndom.
