Festival Overture - Shostakovich This work was composed for the 37th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Its uncomplicated merriment reflects both Stalin’s recent death and the increased financial security this piece brought to Shostakovich. It opens with a bright fanfare, closes with a gigantic version of the same fanfare, and virtually jumps with joy in every bar between. Peter and the Wolf - Prokofiev This work was composed in 1936 for the Moscow Children’s Theatre, a theatre devoted to entertainment for the young. It is a story told in the style of a rustic folk-tale, in which the characters are represented using the principal instruments of the orchestra.
