Tchaikovsky

Overture, Romeo and Juliet

Violin Concerto No. 2

Tchaikovsky

Symphony No. 5

Prokofiev's second violin concerto was written in the same summer as the ballet Romeo and Juliet, and shares its drama and lyricism. The tender, slow movement is one of the composer's most beautiful, while the finale is an exuberant dance. Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony was composed on his return to Russia in 1888 after a successful European concert tour. The waltz feel of much of the first movement foreshadows the waltz which takes the place of the usual scherzo. The slow movement is pure Tchaikovskian melody, while the finale is a burst of power and orchestral colour.
