‘Revolutionary!’ Emperor Francis II must have exclaimed when Beethoven’s First Symphony was performed for the first time. The same excitement was felt a century later at the premiere of Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto – with the 22-year-old composer himself as soloist, following Beethoven’s example. Now, more than a hundred years later, neither work has lost any of its youthful power to take one by surprise. Just listen.
