What are you listening to now?

[Sorrano]

Prokofiev's Classical Symphony. I really need to listen to his other symphonies.

[Roehre]

Prokofiev's Classical Symphony. I really need to listen to his other symphonies.

If you don't know them: don't start with the second (save that one to the last) but continue with either 5 or 7, and then work your way back.
Symphonies 2 and (to a lesser extent) 6 are hard nuts to knack.
