[0monolith]

[bibekd]

You're looking for 1:34

[hblab]

@bibekd It's a pity, because 00:00 - 1:34 is also gorgeous.

[napalm9]

One of the few classical pieces I actually like

[Agieenori]

@TheEye114 If you didn't like Amira, you wouldn't be here, would you?

[UrbanicProductions]

Kickass classical songs top 100 on Youtube brought me here!

[ilikezelda64]

Satyricon has a good taste in music.

[DanielHopper94]

The Apprentice! lol

[SH96films]

Thumbs up if you actually know this song, and weren't lead here by the simpsons/monster girl quest/whatever.

[Agieenori]

@SH96films Stop with the elitist thing. Stop whining. Know what, you should ask yourself why these people discovered that song thanks to The Simpsons of Monster Girl Quest, and not thanks to you. Well?

[SH96films]

@Agieenori I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. I had a headache that day, and the fact that every third comment was along the lines of "Thumbs up is %whatever% brought you here" kept getting on my nerves.

My neitral comment wasn't against anyone, just a comment.

[Agieenori]

@SH96films I understand. I'm not offended and I understand what made you upset (I also hate comments focused on thumb ups instead of, uh... commenting). I just saw elitist behaviour so often these days that I literally jumped on you. My apologies ;)

[pectinmania]

@SH96films Thumbs way up!

[BlatantBeast]

BEST RIDE OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cargalito234]

[pectinmania]

@TheAussieStew I cry for you; as much as i love The Simpsons.

[pectinmania]

@TheAussieStew Hearing this on "The Simpsons" brought me back.

[dallen3000]

Haha they played this song on the new Simpsons today lol ;-)

[emilysara77]

@dallen3000 I actually played this piece sophomore year in my high school orchestra, and when I was watching the new Simpsons episode, and this song came on, I was like "OMG I played this in orchestra!!" :D :D

[dallen3000]

@emilysara77 haha lucky, i wish i could play this song with my band ;-)

[cllax14]

I heard this song live by some real famous russian symphony (whose name unfortunately escapes me it was several years ago), but I must say when I heard this it gave me chills hearing this song booming in the concert hall

[BexC34]

1:35 Allan Sugar is looking for his next Apprentice.

[MacheteProductionsTM]

D6AA sent me here!

[MissTaylorHarris]

Starting @ 1:35 to 3:10 : this is what we're playing for marching band. It sounds so cool. And tenors (that's me!) get the melody basically the whole time. I <3 it. i used to hate the song because we never practiced it until now, but now it amazes me. I love it so much!

[gwynbleidzik]

My polish teacher played 1:35 when walking around the classroom and deciding whom to ask. This was scary as SHIT.

[herronmc2011]

...busch gardens europe ride "escape from pompeii"

[marukochan13]

Awesome, just like in a horror movie! :D

[moviemagic233]

silent horror movie?maybe............

[flossy26]

there are feelings humans cant put into words. thats why the legends put it into music. honestly there has never been a piece that speaks like this montagues and capulets.its just pure feeling. 

[cz75gsc]

God, I finally found it!

I've been humming that piece for days wondering what it was. And pissing off my coworkers haha

This is going in my bookmarks!

[lilmisslaurie101]

[Madogen]

Jump to 1:35 for the true substance of this piece.

[pladuk68]

@ismaelkahn I am an r&b lover and I love this music too. There's only one kind of music I like, and that's good music. I'm not a muso but I love good music, because I love people. At least I TRY to love people LOL!!!!

[Mossman1223]

You're a tall glass of water, Prokofiev

[ismaelkhan]

5 people must be r&b lovers!

[Tuck213]

The best recording of this song that I could find. Why, all of your recordings are the best @TheWickedNorth.

[celticgettysburg01]

Kick ass heavy Russian music! B-)

[MrMaeveyWavey]

your literally fired

[MilkOfSuccess]

Gotta love those powerful trombones in this.

So much fun to hear in person.

[lostthe80s]

I love to see images of great steam engines to this - an industrial muscle piece during the high tempo section

[Johnathon394]

@1:35 is where the fun begins

[LadyJKillington]

I still can't believe that this was used as the score for the opening title sequence of one of the worst movies in the history of cinema. (Read: Caligula.) What a fine piece of music attached to such a travesty of a film.

[BrkCityFG9]

This will play as I enter the room!

[josh90609]

i like this song

[Faramir122]

@josh90609 It is not a "song". It is a piece of a ballet.

[thecakelover74]

My apologies...some reason my comments weren't posting....then they did....great what an idiot!!!

[thecakelover74]

My apologies...some reason my comments weren't posting....then they did....great what an idiot!!!

[thecakelover74]

I love this piece of music.

[thecakelover74]

I have loved this piece of music since I was very little.It invokes such anger,makes you feel that you can take on the world.....then the tempo changes and becomes so delicate...you can almost picture the ballet.I will love this piece till the day I am not here anymore.

[thecakelover74]

I have loved this piece of music since I was very little.

[thecakelover74]

I have always loved the way this particular piece of music can go from being so angry ,which gets your heart pumping and you feeling as if you could take on anyone...to so quiet and delicate.You can actually visualise the ballet in the quiet parts of the piece.A genius piece of music and I will always love that about it.

[mossman1410]

i started to play along with my viola . . . oops! my parts in C major.

[georginiou]

Go to 1:35 if you want to feel like smoke is fuming from your eyes and you can squirt venom from your nostrils. Listen for longer if you want to feel like you can chew granite into dust!

[TheRegimelife]

Marvelous!

[skate4fun21]

Does anyone know what orchestra this is? I want to say the CSO, but I'm not sure.

[JustAnother800]

THE APPRENTICE!

[MrGangleyMoose]

@JustAnother800 Congratulations...moron.

[GunsGenialeStuff]

This piece(and the rest of Romeo and Juliet) is really fun to play on alto saxophone. This is actually what kinda got me into classical music. Much better than the mainstream music, said by a 12 year old. :)

[czechMextra]

hate never has been more beautiful before...♥

[IntroitusM]

I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the heavens...

[baraxor]

Part of this was used as the opening theme for the movie "Caligula"

[Everava]

2:12 Those first three notes in the brass....DARTH VADER?

That being said, I love this song XD

[mattwalkerpianist]

I love this piece!

[G0dlyz]

This song sounds great when played well.... too bad I cannot say the same for when our orchestra trys to play it with those of us who are in band....

[2cutthroatterrorist]

@G0dlyz LOL I can only imagine

[insoliosolsederat]

Prokofiev-Capablanca 1-0 (chess)

[wassermeister]

pieces like this make me wanna get more into classical music

[initiumdivine]

Where did you find this verision? What CD? What orchestra? Conductor?

[ynottonycom]

Fantastic!



[L0LyourFACE]

Jealousy and madness

[CChristyves]

Passion and insanity

[obsessive13]

amazing :)

[Uberlaser]

Such a wonderful piece of music. For me, it conjours an industrial age of machines, metal and engineering - Huge steam pistons and iron works moving up and down. Clouds of smoke and steam . . . the smell of furnaces . . .

[dotchoo]

@Uberlaser apocalyptic. now it does for me too :) thank for putting the image in my head.

[Hardysamnin]

@dotchoo I always get the image (from 1:30 onwards anyway) of millions of soldiers marching in unison to war.

[Straightjacketpsycho]

@Uberlaser That's exactly what I'm imagining, you said it perfectly. I couldn't put it any other way, I just love this piece, it's eerie and dark and full of emotion

[0RiaShu0]

this has sir alan sugar written all over it XD

[TeenTaekwondo]

@0RiaShu0 Wrong, This was written before Alan Sugar was even born. You just associate this piece with him because it was a theme tune of a TV show, and he didn't pick this piece anyway.

[NelsonClick]

The majesty of dissonance.  It's every much a part of the human character and experience as Ode to Joy. Leave it to a Russian to make this dark feeling so appealing and dare I say, sexy?

[LexingtonWells]

@NelsonClick Duh haha... Russians r badass!

[chloelapuce]

@simcha181818 : Oui j'adore même ! 

[radioactivequackery]

I feel like such a badass when I listen to this song.

[ToulBoi]

Faster than I'm used to, though an excellent recording. That deep bass bell tone sound is my dream.

[umBhalane]

"I really need to know who is playing this specific piece."

Me too

Thank you

[LaZonaMontaje]

Hi, I really need to know who is playing this specific piece. If you have the name of the pianist and the orquestra and / or anything else, please tell me. Thanx a lot. From Argentina, Ro.

[LaZonaMontaje]

[mytsigns]

"Easy, Action!"  "Cool it, Ice"

[Tuck213]

This both makes me cry and feel powerfull at once.

[imanarwhaleee]

I could just imagine some montagues and capulets fighting and a montage of a bunch of differnt events from romeo and juliet. This song is just so brilliant, its chilling. I could just imagine some really large general walking around and strutting his weight around!!! :D

[Amiez94]

This would be the most AMAZING theme for Megamind! And I totally agree with filopaa1990! AMAZING I can really see where Regina Spektor gets a lot of her inspiration from! I love the Russian background.

[clairenunavut]

i must say i can not say if i prefer Prokofiev or Tchaikovski!

[Demendred1605]

Such lovely lovely music classical is

[Staydown777]

Umbelievibly superb master piece! It's just so... Magnificient! 

[chloelapuce]

Je préfère également cette version.. Elle m’envoûte ! c'est horrible ! Je suis comme en trans' en l'écoutant ! Beaucoup de force dans ce magnifique morceaux ! Merci Prokofiev ! J'ai toujours préféré les notes grave, il y en a beaucoup dans ce morceau ! :)

[simcha181818]

@chloelapuce So, do you like it?

[katethefox]

My school orchestra played this piece at prizegiving last week. I love it.

[straussgirl96]

Best Prokofiev I know!! Some of his music is too over the top, but not this!

[DoublebassJr]

Prokofiev really knew how to depict the tension that existed between the Montagues and Capulets, and he did so amazingly by composing this piece of music.

[february86]

this just made me start my period....mmm lick-tastic

[Drwhofan1971]

the BBC used the part of this piece, starting 1.34, in its opening/end credits to the 1985 World Chess Championship between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov. The Internet Chess Club uses it today before its live audio commentaries. I, as a chess player, associate Montagues and Capulets with chess; it really psyches me up before a tournament game. Musically, it is so powerful too.

[alexhope77]

@Drwhofan1971

Prokofiev was a strong chess player. I thing that's why his music is often played on various chess programs.

[TheDavid2222]

This composer is oneof the greatest to ever live.

[bub777]

I think John Williams had some inspiration from this movement, namely around 1:38-1:51.

I feel like there's some subtle references to this in the Sandcrawler Theme and the Witches of Eastwick them (both of which is mainly heard in string section).

Oh and lately I've been thinking that there is a parallel between the part from 3:12-4:39 in the concluding minute of Across the Stars and the last part of the Confrontation with Count Dooku & Finale from Attack of the Clones. Romance? Peace? Both?

[dilibau]

5 people in this world are morons for disliking this masterpiece...I wonder if it's ALL of 'em
