Anyone listening to the electrifying second movement (Scherzo vivacissimo) of Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 will understand the passion that immediately gripped Joseph Szigeti, present at the warmly applauded world premiere of the work in October 1923 in Paris. It was love at first listen. The great violinist began regularly presenting the concerto to audiences worldwide. These audiences, naturally, were also won over until the present day.

Joly Braga Santos died in 1988, at the age of 64, at the height of his creativity. A great lover of opera, he left us with a vast production spanning various musical genre. His Fourth Symphony had two versions, the second of which, choral-symphonic, premiered in 1968. This version proposed a magnificent choral epilogue that remains one of the most fervent tributes to youth in the history of Portuguese music. Its overwhelming final crescendo continues to captivate us enthusiastically – undoubtedly one of the reasons it was proposed as the World Youth Anthem.
