Teasing the Geese
The young Sergei Prokofiev was fed up with critics who thought he could only write crunchy, avant-garde music. So he threw them a musical curve ball, his "Classical" symphony, written in a Haydnesque style. He called it "a challenge to make the geese angry." James Conlon leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic, in concert at Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles.
