Nicola Luisotti conducts Poulenc’s Gloria and Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony

Composing works which were both modern and understandable – that was the supreme discipline for many composers of the 20th century. Nicola Luisotti here presents works which realise this concept most beautifully: Francis Poulenc’s Gloria, which shifts between meditation and exuberant joy, and Sergei Prokofiev’s distinctive Fifth Symphony. Plus, Emmanuel Pahud plays pieces for solo flute by Claude Debussy und Luciano Berio.
