    I just discovered that Sting got the impetus for his song, "Russians" from this composer. I love both songs. And I love learning about music, old and new.

      Así es, Sting sobre el "Romance", compuso la antibelicista RUSSIANS ¿acaso no aman a sus niños e hijos?
      Parece muy claro que no. Sólo para mandarlos a matar y morir, constantemente desde 1917.
      Muy triste y bárbaro pueblo ávido de crimen y sangre.

    Sting indeed. I overheard a friend of mine once playing the melodic refrain on her flute and, of course, loving this Prokofiev piece, I commented excitedly, "Oh, you're playing Prokofiev!" She corrected me, "No, I'm playing Sting! Who's Prokoff what?"

    This is film music people. And Prokofiev invented the modern soundtrack genre. He doesn't have a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Stravinsky does and so does Leonard Bernstein. I think Sergei who gave us this very magical and theatrical style of film music deserves a star. Besides he wrote this before any of the Hollywood composers were household names.

      +Marc Parella He didn't invent the modern soundtrack, not as much as De Bussy or any other musician from the 19th. he 'just' was a great composer. it's the other way around : contemporary composers (Zimmer, Horner ...) got inspired by classical music.

    • @vanmoody
      @vanmoody 8 років тому +1

      I really think a lot of the classical composers would be doing music for movies. Back in their day they had to get funding from some King or Nobleman. Today they could just work in the free market.

    His father, Sergei Alexeyevich Prokofiev, was an agronomist from a mercantile family in Moscow. Prokofiev's mother, Maria (née Zhitkova), came from a Saint Petersburg[12] family of former serfs who had been owned by the Sheremetev family, under whose patronage serf-children were taught theatre and arts from an early age

    Not only cinema music but this exquisite piece made it as a musical quotation in Sting's "Russians" from his first solo album in 1985. It's used most effectively, too. I hope it's brought a few people from that world to hear the whole Suite.
    Speaking of John Williams, whose talent is considerable, his famous march from Star Wars is very much influenced by the march from The Love for Three Oranges, to give one example.

    This melody is also used by Blood Sweat and Tears as an intro to one of their songs. I think it's 40,000 headmen.

    Curious that you say this. I think that Prokofiev had a strong influence on John Williams. Wish I knew more about it... if it's true. Good day to you and to all!

    Well this was actually just composed as a movie soundtrack, but then again, I find that most modern music that I like come from movie soundtracks.

    @rhapsodyblue56 I am afraid he was referring to the Sting song "I hope the Russians love their children too"
