The Best of Prokofiev

- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (27 April [O.S. 15 April] 1891 - 5 March 1953) was a Russian Soviet composer, pianist and conductor. As the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerous music genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard pieces as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet-from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken-and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created - excluding juvenilia - seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, a symphony-concerto for cello and orchestra, and nine completed piano sonatas.
A graduate of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, Prokofiev initially made his name as an iconoclastic composer-pianist, achieving notoriety with a series of ferociously dissonant and virtuosic works for his instrument, including his first two piano concertos. In 1915, Prokofiev made a decisive break from the standard composer-pianist category with his orchestral Scythian Suite, compiled from music originally composed for a ballet commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev of the Ballets Russes. Diaghilev commissioned three further ballets from Prokofiev-Chout, Le pas d'acier and The Prodigal Son-which at the time of their original production all caused a sensation among both critics and colleagues. Prokofiev's greatest interest, however, was opera, and he composed several works in that genre, including The Gambler and The Fiery Angel. Prokofiev's one operatic success during his lifetime was The Love for Three Oranges, composed for the Chicago Opera and subsequently performed over the following decade in Europe and Russia.
After the Revolution of 1917, Prokofiev left Russia with the official blessing of the Soviet minister Anatoly Lunacharsky, and resided in the United States, then Germany, then Paris, making his living as a composer, pianist and conductor. During that time, he married a Spanish singer, Carolina (Lina) Codina, with whom he had two sons. In the early 1930s, the Great Depression diminished opportunities for Prokofiev's ballets and operas to be staged in America and western Europe. Prokofiev, who regarded himself as composer foremost, resented the time taken by touring as a pianist, and increasingly turned to the Soviet Union for commissions of new music; in 1936, he finally returned to his homeland with his family. He enjoyed some success there - notably with Lieutenant Kijé, Peter and the Wolf, Romeo and Juliet, and perhaps above all with Alexander Nevsky.
The Nazi invasion of the USSR spurred him to compose his most ambitious work, an operatic version of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. In 1948, Prokofiev was attacked for producing "anti-democratic formalism." Nevertheless, he enjoyed personal and artistic support from a new generation of Russian performers, notably Sviatoslav Richter and Mstislav Rostropovich: he wrote his ninth piano sonata for the former and his Symphony-Concerto for the latter.

S. Prokofiev was one of the most impressive artist of the 20th century. He wrote miracles that no one could imagine.
This so called "best of Prokofiev" does not describe S.P.'s style.
Take a look at his 5th symphony, his symphonic suite "Love of Three Oranges" or even his Zdravitsa. Prokofiev was a true genius.
Prokofiev ♥️
Hello Jomtek! ... Late in life I'm just discovering S.P.'s genius. Learning not to run away from dissonance in classical music .... it has always seemed right in jazz. Thank you for the timestamps. I'm hearing much which is familiar but did not know its source. .. This quest stems from a CZcams interview with Alex Malofeev, the young prodigy who always mentions Prokofiev. I will listen to your other suggestions, above.
Gracias por enriquecer el video con tu aporte.
Bonjour,
je cherche une musique en particulier de Prokofiev, notament un solo de piano relativement profondément triste , j'ai beau chercher je ne trouve pas ...
I have just learned about this magnificent composer , a real genius. This work is exhilarating .
🙏❤️🌎🌍🌏🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵💫✨️💫✨️
And the Oscar goes to Sergei Prokofiev. If Stravinsky has his own Hollywood Walk of Fame Star... Prokofiev should have one too. There are two stars added a year and I think Prokofiev, who inspired a whole generation of film composers, should have his own. His music is dramatic, ethereally beautiful, and highly evocative. It is timeless as great music must be.
Sir about Rachmaninoff?
@@valsammajoseph421❤❤Rachmaninov like a mfkr !!!!!❤😊❤😊
Prokofiev knows how to touch on every human emotion; frivolity, despair, swooning, anger, giddiness, and provocation. This truly is beautiful music. It doesn't get stale or become overly dramatic. It just captures many moments.
The Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Chopin bait that drew our grandparents to "classical"music now has to be replaced by Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Mahler. I defy any reasonably musical modern person to resist the Romeo and Juliet suites here. These "best of" selections offer a great service. Thanks.
❤Mahler is a damn G tho
And henryk goreki❤❤ they f some s up on this classical ish
Prokofiev is a phenomenon among musicians.
His works is the hall - marked
and incomparable .
The most underrated classical composer.
That's because he doesn't fit neatly into a box; the same could be said for Leonardo.
Его недооценивают до тех пор, пока не прослушают что-то из его произведений. Я обожаю Прокофьева❤❤❤
Larghetto.....a piece of wonderful music which takes me back to childhood, it was the theme music to THE FLAXTON BOYS and the only piece of classic music i remember being introduced to, it still sends shivers down my spine,!....wonderful, beautiful, enchanting, magical!
Музыка Прокофьева - волшебство!
Very moving. Ive already shed tears on romeo and juliet. Not because it was sad or something. But because it was very beautiful. Pardon me telling my life but this piece of work has struck me
I have this exact same reaction. When I first saw it performed live I started sobbing in the audience. And now as I'm listening to it, I'm feeling the same emotions that are so hard to describe. It's not sadness, I'm just overwhelmed by the beauty.
vlewitus Melancholy perhaps?
Just saw Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet. It's simply the greatest! I've cried 3 times.
directement dans le coeur puissance inimaginable farouche voici voila ca touche!
I've been hooked ever since Miss Carol played the 3rd movement of the classical symphony in 5th grade.
I love Prokofiev's music it absolutely amazing thank you
Condivido love Prokofiev Sharon
By any standards the best of Prokofiev must include his 3rd Piano Concerto! It's incredibly beautiful and virtuosic.
Prokofiev is one of the best Russian composers, i love Tchaikovsky too, but Prokofiev hits the top for me with his symphonic music, especially Dance of The Knights.
I love both ❤
He is fiesty and passionate fierce and blustery wild and winding like the russian winter deep in a wooded forest. I like it DA DA!
Bellisima musica! Tenerla es una gloria!!!
Prokokiev,,l'un de mes préférés u de ceux qui me font vibrer !
I love everyone's 💓 of Prokofiev
I enjoy this very much, very civilized, very exquisite.
Heard his music at the Disney Concert Hall with the L.A. Phil. Accoustics and music were memorable.
how can he be so good and hit you so hard
One of the most beautiful symphonies by Prokofiev in my opinion. Symphony No. 1 in D major, or "The Classical Symphony"
сколько Русских композиторов великолепных! браво!
I love all Russian composers! Such wealth of wonderful literature and music. Thanks!
Hello! I want to share with you my symphonic Poem ,inspired by Prokofiev's music, I hope you will enjoy it czcams.com/video/FtgOpfUirT4/video.html
@@musisavante6036 thanks, I did enjoy it!
this guy is amazing
Mijn favoriete componist
Prokofiev mostra maravilhoso talento em todas as suas obras.
What I love about Prokofiev is that his music personifies Russia as a culture, like Wagner to Germany!
+ubbgn he even looks like Putin
+ubbgn IT´S CALLED NATIONALISM DE FALLA IN SPAIN RAVEL IN FRANCE, RESPHIGI IN ITALY, BAX IN U.K
RACHMANINOFF IN RUSSIA ETC.
+Spigazu Well actually Putin looks like Prokofiev, but yeah quite a bit actually.
WAGNER HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN ACCUSED OF ANTI SEMITISM MERELY BECAUSE HE WAS A GERMAN.
BUT IS THERE ANY RACE LIKE THE ISRAELIS WHO ARE MORE RACIST AGAINST THE SEMETIC PALESTINIANS, LEBANESE, IN LANDS WHICH THE JEWS STOLE THROUGH BALFOUR?
THE WORLD HAS FINALLY SEEN THROUGH THIS JEWISH LIE, WHICH MAKES APPLYING IT TO WAGNER IS ABSURD AND HYPROTICAL.
AND ALL THE GREAT JEWISH CONDUCTORS AND MUSICIANS IN THE WORLD LOVE TO PERFORM WAGNER. STRANGE?
MAYBE A WAGNER KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT MENDELSSOHN THAT YOU DON´T.
My my, this is delightful!!
Marvel splendor beauty Prokofiev music, darling lady
I'm seriously thinking of getting into a Prokofiev phase. We have all heard his famous pieces now and then (especially around xmas) but this guy has a huge 'back catalogue' and I off to have a good old delve. This music is CLASS!
youandwhosearmy? was thinking about the exact same thing
Hello! I want to share with you my symphonic Poem ,inspired by Prokofiev's music, I hope you will enjoy it czcams.com/video/FtgOpfUirT4/video.html
Ok c'est bon c'est officiellement Prokofiev mon compositeur préféré !
Superflame le mien aussi..
Prokofiev : 🎶 ♥️
Prokofiev have both, modern＆roman. I like it.
Where does Prokofiev music stand today? It's excellent
So great!
I love it how the description is in Portuguese
Had earbuds on and the volume on full when I hit play. Almost killed myself. Still recovering.
Espectacular compositor de todos los tiempos ¡¡¡¡
+Santiago Key estoy de acuerdo
prokofiev e genial
Sad no one listens to this man of music anymore. People now only know Mozart and Beethoven.
Mozart and Beethoven are boring, I rather listen to Wagner, Brahms, Satie or Shostakovic, now I've discovered Prokfiev's music.
Rafael Cabral Williams Es verdad que Wagner, Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler, Prokofiev son excelentes en su estilo de interpretar. Pero no puedes compararlos con Mozart y Beethoven puesto que son mucho muy diferentes en sus sinfonías y piezas musicales. Además la época y el lugar influyen mucho y están a gran distancia de ligar y tiempo.
Ricardo Méndez Z. Ninguno de los que has mencionado (con excepción de Prokofiev) eran reconocidos interpretes, si no compositores. Sí, puedo comparar, de acuerdo a mi criterio y gustos, y creo que las obras de Beethoven o Mozart son buenas, más no mejores o peores, sin embargo tienen la mala suerte de ser lo primero que salta al hablar de música clásica, lo cual cansa.
Definitivamente nos hace falta conocer más. En eso tienes razón y en que nos hemos encasillado en que cuando mencionamos "música clásica" aparecen en nuestra mente nombres como Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bach, entre otros. hay que seguir buscando.
Come now..don't generalize good Sir. There are still a lot of us out there who appreciate the epic remnants of the ever so nuanced 20'th century.
Essas musicas me fazem arrepiar
brilliant
oOoOoOoOoO The best recording of Romeu a Julieta out there.
Tout à l'extérieur, rien à l'intérieur.... Le roi de l'esbrouffe.... Le Wald Disney de la musique..... Ceci dit quel artiste !
Ahah ! Tellement Wald Disney , que ce fut le compositeur attitré de Serguei Eisenstein !
Ceci dit chapeau l'artiste...
me qudo sin palabras con esta obra ................... puedo sentir el drama en la piel.....
Admiro bastante a Prokofiev. Es la música mas plástica que he escuchado, en especial sus 5 conciertos para piano, inolvidables.
Can I point out the absence of Violin Concerto No 1 and Piano Concerto No 3. These in addition are also some of Prokofiev's best.
I think that this is my favourite composer of all time
great melodies going on here...
Serguéi Prokófiev nació en Sóntsovka (actualmente la ciudad de Krásnoye, en la Óblast de Donetsk), Ucrania. Fue hijo único. Su madre era pianista y su padre un ingeniero agrónomo relativamente acomodado. Prokófiev demostró desde temprana edad dotes musicales poco usuales, y en 1902, cuando empezó a recibir lecciones particulares de composición, ya había escrito algunas piezas. En cuanto dispuso de las herramientas teóricas necesarias, se puso a experimentar, sentando las bases del que sería su propio estilo musical.

I catch myself each time I think 'This is just like James Horner/John Williams,' because this is undoubtedly older material. Surely inspirational for the 2 who are but a pair in a very long list.
This is stuff is grand.

People can be so stupid at times, fighting over which genre or artist is better than the other, some even saying they're better than the artists they critic, and I'm here, enjoying the kind of music I like and just ignoring the rest, they are honestly just loosing their time, instead of being happy, instead of being calm and relaxed, they foolishly choose to rather critic and be angry at anything that's not their taste.

wow , scary awesome
I love too Prokofiev :D
Wrote brilliant music and had a sexy Mrs. 'til he dumped her for someone else. And probably the most loved composer for the prog rockers in the late 60s/70s.
This music fascinating..
Thank you for posting this.
LOVE IT!
Montecchios e Capulettos magno! that song remember me in some notes to Wagner.
I just wish they would put in time stamps or some other way to tell the tracks apart. That would be nice for the people that aren't as experienced with Prokofiev's works.
Ya'll sleepin' on this cat homie.
Just kidding, I don't really talk/type like that.
But the message remains the same:
Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, etc...are always mentioned or talked about by radio DJ's or classical music fans---but not too many ever mention Prokofiev.
He's an absolute giant.
Rachmaninov as well...good lord I love the Russian composers. There's some deep stuff going on---hidden within in their music.
Hard to explain.
And you sir forgot STAVINSKY
I assume you mean Stravinsky?
True.
He's also a beast. The Rite of Spring.
Enough said.
I absolutely agree!!! There is a kind of melancholy in the russian classical music. It is so powerfull and deep. I also love Musorgskys "Great Gate of Kiew".
Stephan Mörs
Thank you for reminding me about the Great Gate of Kiev...what a sound!
Listening to it right now via CZcams.
Powerful feelings.
You are right, Justin. Russian art is larger than any other countries.
feels like this composer has two personalities.
id say psychotic actually
well i just couldnt agree more
Ati Pan There is a controversy in every human
Jasen Dimitrov there is no doubtf for that. in this case tho its just too intense.

real russian music
Death metal band Necrophagist plays a part of the Dance of the Knights with 33 seconds left in their song "Only Ash Remains." It's a cool bit that adds to the whole "possession" vibe of the lyrics.
ok
right o
fuck death metal
+Króliś miłości ok
black metal>>>>
1. Dance of the Knights 0:00
2. A Jovem Julieta 5:28
8:45
3. Frei Lorenzo 9:40
0:00 is NOT Dance of the Knights, 1:12 is.
Yet it remains that this is what I would call "light" Prokofiev. I'd consider Prokofiev's style not being these 3 pieces (which I do not dislike) compared to other pieces he made. If you're interested into a bit more Prokofiev I'd recommend you taking a look at a bit less popular pieces such as his Sonatas for Piano, or his Concerto for Violin/Piano, his 2nd symphony (my favourite) and his 3rd. These are of course harder to listen to but I personally am huge admirator of Prokofiev and he's my favourite composer by far.
Sure, you can't say you know deeply a composer just by a top 3 or 5. But I'm just trying to say that especially for this one, it's just not Prokofiev's style. But I appreciate you took the time to share your opinion :)
Pianist Lang Lang play Prokofiev at the piano in this video
czcams.com/video/J_R7vFPAtgQ/video.html
The song at 55 mins is the same one Sting interpreted on his song 'Russians' except Sting's version is bigger and more dramatic which I prefer. The live version of that song at Berlin with the symphony orchestra which is on his DVD Live in Berlin is amazing!
Phénoménal...
It is readily apparent that James Horner received a large part of his inspiration from Prokofiev. Just go listen to the original Land Before Time soundtrack after this.
***** and Sting too. He used the part at 56:00 for his (1985?) hit Russians.
*****: James Horner may have been Prokofiev reincarnated. Here are the numbers:
James Horner was born in 1953.
Sergei Prokofiev died in 1953.
Horner lived 61 years 10 months and 9 days
Prokofiev lived 61 years 10 months and 11 days
Horner has two daughters
Prokofiev had two sons
Both men wrote powerful epic film scores based on war and redemption:
Horner: Braveheart, Glory
Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky
Both men were enthusiasts:
Prokofiev loved automobiles
Horner loved airplanes
Marc Parella
If your information is accurate--I don't have the time to verify it now--that is quite interesting.
1.18 - here we go - dark, turgid, ominous, - this is it.
Quando ouço Prokofiev min'alma metafisica-se para um mundo imaginário,bem longe do Brézil!
Genius
Besides being an incredible composer. Looks very much like Putin. With that being said he's amazing incredible and above and beyond the best.
Dance of the knights belong in a game or movie with epic sword battling and magic and such.
At the 32:28 mark, one can hear how film composer James Horner was influenced by Prokofiev when he composed the score for 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock', especially during the sequence when a destroyed Enterprise was hurtling towards the unstable Genesis planet.
TorontoJon do you know the name of the song at that minute?
palefish, I presume the Prokofiev tune at 32:28 is 'Romeu Diante do Cadáver de Julieta'.
8:45 - 8:53 , we can clearly see where Svetlanov went to get the inspiration for the beginning of his piano concerto :)
actually, it belongs in a symphony inspired by said play. Romeo and Juliet predates Prokofiev by a long time. Either way though, this music is EPIC!
мой земляк!
22:50 best part
Esse sujeito era um mestre. A primeira lembra a saga do bruxinho Harry Potter.
0:01:13 ... EPIC...Every time...
mum. the high brows are fighting again
Come to think of it, I believe Copland was influenced by Prokofiev. Great similarities.
!!!!!!!!!!
nice!
Its slightly dramatic, but otherwise its perfect.
It's creepy that the picture is just staring at you.
Favourite starts at 59:24
Sonido de Guerra!
one of the darkest composers i know! Recommend me others dark musicians, ill be pleased :) Of course his motifs aren't all so gloomy
Dmitri Shostakovich
Prokofiev's opera War and Peace is awesome
Penderecki. So incredibly emotive and dark that, in many of his works, he had to invent altogether new forms of musical notation.
I dare you to not cry, while listening to the Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima.
Liszt has some awesome dark sounding stuff
Ridgeback1ify dmitri shostakovich
Can you add timestamps to the beginnings of the songs in the description?
1:20 Pls listen to this part everyone including topclassicalmusic
He already heard it before you even had the idea, I mean he put all this together did he not? Lemme answer that for ya the answer is: yes. I mean duhh

Hate to argue on such a lovely video and even though I'm not sure why people insist on replying on my first comment I must defend myself when I am correct.
