Dmitry Kabalevsky found his mature style and achieved international success with his first opera 'Colas Breugnon', the overture of which was soon picked up as an orchestral showpiece in the west. The' Second Symphony' was likewise championed by conductors such as Arturo Toscanini, its bittersweet sense of drama and lyricism comparable with Prokofiev. Dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution, the 'First Symphony' illustrates progress from oppression. to liberation, while the later Pathétique Overture is a rousing and highly effective reminder of Kabalevsky's skill in orchestration.
