Sergei Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky / Ivan the Terrible

[@Fabio-g5s]

Ciò che ascoltiamo da questi artisti gloriosi, il sommo Gergiev, orchestra, coro e solisti, ci aiuta a comprendere cosa sia la Russia e il suo grande popolo. La sua cultura, la musica splendida di Prokoviev, onore ai nostri fratelli russi. La vittoria sarà vostra. ZOV 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Amazing! I've seen both the original Eisenstein films of Ivan the Terrible for which much of this music was written, also the ballet version and the double bill presented here (although not this particular night, the one I saw on Mezzo was filmed around two years later in Moscow, but with the Mariinsky orchestra and mostly the same people as here, including Maestro Valery Gergiev and Mikhail Petrenko). This is a beautiful concert and the music echoes both the 16th century and the times when it was composed - the years of WW2/ the Great Patriotic War when Russia was put to the hardest test she had been through since the Time of Troubles. Thank you so much! 🙏💗

The Russian people suffered a great deal, even resorted to cannibalism, during the 'Great Patriotic War' and it's all Stalin's fault. Now they are inflicting the same sufferings on the Ukrainian people. History repeats itself, sad story of the human species.
