Sergey Sergeyevich Prokofiev Symphony No. 40 combines elegance and unease, its dark opening yielding to calmer waters, only to return to despair. The answer lies in how composers quickly developed a habit in their symphonies of pitting one theme against another, weighing the relative merits of each, then pulling their conclusions together. But where a performer incorporates those experiences into an interpretation, we have to write about them, though there are plenty of verbally eloquent musicians around Alfred Brendel, for example. A century on, the progressive despoliation of the planet is sharply evident, and the relatively benign relationship in the Third between human beings and their environment has drastically deteriorated. The common ground that musical performers and critics share concerns the basic essentials of interpretative genius, not least a discernible musical personality, respect for rather than slavish adherence to the score, a musical sense of timing, a feeling for period and appropriate style and, more vital than anything, that indefinable quality that signals a symbiotic rapport between the performer and the composer.
