FRSO, Sakari Oramo & Julia Fischer

A nameless big city in the late 1930s: pounding beat, glaring neon lights, wicked jazz and strange instruments, night-time houses, hotbeds of sin. 

So decadent is Ernst Pingoud’s vision of city life in orchestral The Faces of a Big City. The first violin concerto by Serge Prokofiev is quite the opposite: the epitome of innocence. 

No one would ever guess it was composed amid the turmoil of the Russian Revolution.
