The wayward Prokofiev

tue 2 apr 2024 22:00 hour
Composer: Sergej Prokofiev

The wayward Prokofiev#78. A long-running docudrama about one of the most prominent and distinctive composers of the 20th century.

During ‘the wayward Prokofiev’ we focus our attention on Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev for one hour every two weeks. Prokofiev was without a doubt one of the biggest composers of the 20th century.

In today’s episode: a patriotic cantata, a violin piece for conservatory students, and his final opera, which, despite good intentions, did not appeal to the Ministry of Culture.

Additionally:

  • Sergei Prokofiev. Flourish, Mighty Homeland op. 114 (1947) St. Petersburg Philharmonic choir and orchestra conducted by Alexander Titov
  • Sergei Prokofiev. Sonata for violin in D op. 115 (1947) Gidon Kremer (violin)
  • Sergei Prokofiev. Story of a Real Man op. 117 Act 1 (1948) Bolshoi theatre- choir and orchestra conducted by Mark Ermler featuring, among others: Yevgeny Kibkalo (baritone, as Alexei the pilot), Giafira Deomidova (soprano, Olga his fiance) and Georgi Shulpin (contra-alto, Mikhailo his grandfather).
