RESOUNDING FIRSTS
Prokofiev's Classical Symphony, so named by the composer for the first symphony he wrote, is one of the first great neo-classical compositions. Stravinsky's fabulous The Firebird was his first collaboration with Diaghilev and Ballets Russes. And though Tchaikovsky was unsure of how the public would receive his Piano Concerto #1, the piece was a resounding success and is among the best known of all piano concertos.

Prokofiev, Symphony #1 in D major, Opus 25 Classical
Stravinsky, Suite for Orchestra from The Firebird
Tchaikovsky, Piano Concerto #1 in B flat minor, Opus 23
