Haven't done a #DrewsPicks in a while and a classical one in a long while.
This is the Montreal Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Charles Dutoit doing Prokofiev Symphony No. 5.
The first movement is dark and brooding but sweepingly melodic. The entire symphony is wonderful - ominous while still feeling hopeful somehow.
And Montreal sounds so good under Dutoit.
(This recording is both Symphony 1 + Symphony 5 - I'm specifically talking 5)
The last three minutes of the first movement is so good and the release of the last chord gives me goosebumps.

@jessay Weird it's working for me. Must be something about being logged in to Apple Classical or something. Who knows.
Anyways, here it is on YouTube:
@drewphish thanks!
@jessay Of course!
