The wayward Prokofiev

sun 8 aug 2021 15:00 hour

Prokofiev XIV. A docudrama about one of the most prominent and independent composers of the 20th century.

In ‘Prokofiev: modernist on his own terms’, every fortnight an hour-long feature on the life and work of the Russian 20th century composer Sergei Prokofiev. Undoubtedly one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. With a hefty portion (this time from the second act) from his first opera (The Gambler), his violin concerto both from 1917. Also, for comparison, with a mazurka oboe by fellow composer, and once teacher of Prokofiev, Alexander Glazunov also from 1917, a work for violin and orchestra.
