C. Abbado Conducts Prokofiev 'Classical' Symphony (1/2)

[mrotte25]

Wonderfully played in neoclassical style although Prokoviev usually wrote sometimes a very dissonant and polytonal way. This is a good example of how modern composers can write classical music

[eugenybak8]

i don't know if its weird or something, you tell me.

i'm only 16 and i like hearing anything from Skrillex to Metallica to Bon Jovi etc'

but when i hear this piece i get goosebumps :D

[randomprimate]

So happy. Cant help but smile at the end of the first movement!

[joboy1992jesto]

The second movement is really gonna be the end of me one day....

[allmusicfoodoflove]

I hear this and know that there is hope and we still have a chance, despite the madness,

[Tuck213]

I think he's written better compositions. This one is too ehm... civilized if you ask me.

[violinbird]

So... Russian! Thanks Prokofiev.

@xoxkelsey0714 The flip of this record is the symphony based on the flaming angel

[pinintra]

Abbado è inconfondibile nel suo stile interpretativo. Lettura sferzante e scintillante. Molto bella.

IB MUSIC TESTT

[danstyle93]

amazing piece.

[MrRenataperalta]

4:30 melts my heart

[gfhfgjfgx]

damn you prokofiev. I absolutely have no idea how to play this, and I am playing the accompaniment.

[gianpaga11]

This Tempo ist perfect!!!!

[jhonwica]

è la grandezza di una interpretazione, ti fa sognare, rende le note area, che ti tocca...

che bello sapere che puoi farlo, che altri ci riescono..

grazie abbado, grazie sopratutto prokofiev

[mozartnvhn]

Modern and Classic, Academic but easy 2 listen. Veryyyyyyyyyyyyy beautiful masterpiece.

I love it soooooooooooooo much.

[Slaphappy1975]

superb, thanks for the upload

[violinista53]

Wow, this rendition has so much personality! I love it.

[drpickett]

What an amazing piece - I don't think there is a single bar of the entire work that I do not like

[gavsys]

Sergei dijo : Creo que si Haydn hubiera vivido en nuestros días hubiera escrito una sinfonía así. Son fenomenos : Prpkofieff y Abbado.

[poupee58]

Fantastic version ,I adore Abbado.

[paganiniGOGO]

This is too beautiful to be a classical symphony.

[SqueekyMonkey101]

@paganiniGOGO Lol it's supposed to be a parody of Mozart, Haydn and Brahms symphonies you know, but I wholeheartedly agree. It is quite beautiful although Prokofiev humorously exaggerates everything that classical composers did at the time.

[paganiniGOGO]

@SqueekyMonkey101

Was that it? I didn't remember the story exactly. I remembered he was trying to prove a point, though.

Still, this has Prokofiev written all over it, doesn't it?

[SqueekyMonkey101]

@paganiniGOGO Most definitley, whenever I hear fourth movement the first thing I think of is Prokofiev.

[jjbinks3]

@paganiniGOGO what is this supposed to mean

Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert, CPE Bach symphonies aren't beautiful?

[darnmat]

This has a special movement to this interpretation (in terms of tempo)... still classical but still there's a hint of prokofiev's personality in it...

[Rosalchemica]

La migliore interpretazione della Sinfonia Classica; a mio parere,naturalmente

[operafan85]

Sono d'accordo...

[spacepatrolman]

The other side of this record is the symphony based on the opera the flaming angel [ as light as this piece is thats how heavy the other one is ] .

[gianpaga11]

Fantastico!

Grazie!

[OperaBuff1935]

Well, I will be thr first to comment. Very favorable. This is just a little jewel that Prokoviev put together.. On e thinks of all his other great works. This one fits right into his works. And it is well played and well conducted. Thank you.!
