Prokofiev - Lieutenant Kijé//Romance

[FutureLegendDiva]

I hope the Russians love their children too

[rhapsodyblue56]

@FutureLegendDiva I believe it. No regard to how evil a government is, people are people.

[AllwaysTvMtv]

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

[rhapsodyblue56]

@AllwaysTvMtv Yeah, I said that on the Sting song too. What are you worried about? :)



[MegaGupka]

@FutureLegendDiva Sting forever :D

[FutureLegendDiva]

@MegaGupka Well, actually I'm not a fan of Sting (I listen to the the Police though), but I like that song.

[lvitali]

it is power!!!

[Jtiger987]

:D its awesome

[aloebera1]

[celine1793]

[MrMaestus]

Very beautiful, and fresh..

[hamasburi]

The Score & Parts for Prokofiev: Lieutenant Kije Op.60 can be found at SheetMusicX [dot[ com

[dedissimo]

Anyone knows if there's another piece of classical music developing the theme at 2:04? I love it!

[Elymadie]

@dedissimo not sure if you'd find it simillar but for me Michal Lorenc - Taniec Eleny explores a bit similar theme.

[dedissimo]

@Elymadie I can't tell that's similar, but it's very nice! Thanks for sharing. If you find some other piece, post it here please :)

[Pypo11]

C' est le thème de Russians de Sting

[therapsids]

Hey, it's Sting!

[booboo3ipod]

What a gift from heaven he was, his genius leaves me speechless.

[StravinskaiaWebern]

where is the button "love"

[bigP57fab]

Il l'on repris pour Russians de Sting

[Supermabelina]

Precioosaaaa, no sabía que esta música era de Prokofiev!!

[Simblaschfer]

Una obra maestra.

[inuitka]

More than beautiful :)

[lewdstep]

обалдеть

[frearrifo]

STING LA PIDIÓ PRESTADA ????

[asylium78]

It's great. Mikhail Prokofiev

[SpArKpLuG12994]

@asylium78 Sergei...

[DarkGhostwriter]

Makes me think on Harry Potter soundtracks.

Awesome!

[dvsthientai]

This is my fav piece of classical music.

[ignaziodevizio]

viva su puta madre cabron, si que estabas enamorado

[Zakdayak]

AWESOME...thanks for uploading.

[uvpropaganda]

I think this is the best version out there.

[captainmorgan757]

I have this on cd where Fritz Rhienhart is conducting this master piece. It is the best that I've heard (the Fritz Rhienhart one).

[indoorin]

Beautiful.

[markstar777]

genius

[MrJFA1978]

it keeps on modulating and modulating, beautiful, and with the same theme

[MrJFA1978]

sting borrowed the theme for his song russians

[haruhifujioka104]

OMG a bass solo!!!!they ever get ANYTHING!

[kylecrocodile1234]

so good! im doing a presentation for the romantic movement at school

[flyaway951]

It's incredible how a human being can create this world of its own, just like that.

I really am thankful for all these genius composers out there who have the ability to change the world.

[JWSiegel]

Really beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.

[SaenWyrWulf]

Ah, glorious and wonderful music from the glorious SSSR.

[janchor]

@SaenWyrWulf Yeah, the glorious SSSR that banned his music, almost drove him to poverty and arrested his wife. Good times.

[SaenWyrWulf]

@janchor They still put his face on a postage stamp. The ultimate honor.

[dicthash]

@janchor

only true that his wife was arrested. All the rest is a bullshit

[cellofingers]

I love the cellos. Bit of trivia. The Soviet Committee of Music and the Arts permitted this piece to be created mainly because it poked fun at the former Czar. Prokofiev was no dummy he had to be (at least appear to be) politically correct with his brilliance.

[LoveOthello]

This is such a brilliant work!

[Tokiko7]

I love this song, every time I hear it I get tears in my eyes because it's so beautifull. It always makes me smile. =)

[marcohorowitz8]

I first heard this in Sting's version with his 'Russians' song. When I heard ltn. Kije I thought 'hey, he's nicked it from Sting!!' but then I realised that it was in fact the other way round :)

[makinawdandy6699]

I think this is my favorite classical music piece. I find it really ...I don't know how to describe it...Maybe these adjectives: Powerful, sincere, deep, gloomy, dreamy and ,... utterly Russian !!!! (at least what I imagine Russia to be like from my imagination).

[MoGreensEye]

Blood Sweat and Tears also used this melody in their version of 40,000 Headmen on BS&T3. They also used Monk's I Mean You in the same tune, and in fact played all three melodies at the same time towards the end of the song

[Elcore]

Underrated piece, shame the film is so utterly shit.

[GenBanks]

@Elcore i disagree... I think it's worth watching even if only because it's quite anti-autocratic/bureaucratic and yet was released in 1934 while Stalin was in charge. But the book is definitely much better.

[korczyslaw]

sweeeet

[samo314159]

Well done, but I'm used to hearing the double bass solo much more legato. Whose version is this?

[Rand0mUser08]

@samo314159 As I said in the video information, it's by the Orchestre National de France, the French National Orchestra. Directed by Lorin Maazel.

[boilingsand]

@Rand0mUser08 was just showing off. If he had really just wanted the information he would have quietly found it and read it

[3A7C]

Ah, so this is the tune that Sting was covering in his song "Russians".

[colinmusik]

Love this music...

[shonapeggy]

I'm french so I think my English is not good but this song is very beautiful, today I listened it when i was in music theory...I love this song and Prokofiev is a very good composer

[Papeeloo1]

@shonapeggy Vous avez bon goût, c'est aussi une de mes musiques que j'adore. Cette version n'est néanmoins pas ma préférée.

[sylvana89000]

♥

[gekkegerrit101]

i will have that power!!!

[Lightbringer09]

Yeah mate, so true xD

[ghozer909]

lol

[PereKensal]

<<am a man who grew up in the 80's, and remember stings russians.......not til i got the web did i ever learn what this tune actually was, and i love it, but lots of prokofievs tunes actually sound 'soviet' and i love that too.

[interceptor6]

@PereKensal

his music was chosen as the music of the revolution by lenin, but prokofiev himself wasn't really to fond of communism

[ndosg15]

I love the saxophone solo :)

[maryviolin]

yes!

[erez1313]

the melody on the begining is on the double bass?

[shoooooooooooota]

this is probably one of the most beautiful orchestral bass solo's you'll ever hear

[Elcore]

But... DO the Russians love their children too?

[TrefyJot]

Beats looking down the barrel of an armalite ;0)

[Thraikios]

lol

[ikel87]

This is my favorite of the 5 mov.

[ReaIized]

me too

[engara34]

very good song !

[SkreemingSeks]

C'est very beautiful mais very depressing.

[aituar77]

Very Russian too. Alexander Nevsky suite is very fascinating too. Written in the same fashion. Worth hearing.

[TheTroubledTroubador]

frenglish?

[jdoggybizzle]

I just discovered Prokofiev today. Much love for the Russians, they're good at three things:

mail order brides

vodka

and CLASSICAL MUSIC =)

I heard this suite today on NPR and had to find it.

[dragosenescu]

And chess :))

[Myszkin127]

and Tolstoy

[Nornegest]

And Anna Pavlova.

[FungoBoy]

and communist propaganda posters

[GexeBerg]

Dostoevsky, Chehov , Brodsky !!!

Do anyone know Bunin? Or Pasternak?

Tsvetaeva? Mandelstam? Akhmatova?

[dicthash]

@GexeBerg

fuck Brodsky, Bunin, Pasternak, Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam - that's all is a huge shit

[pearlstwelve]

Who doesn't love a bass solo? This was favorite solos to play. screw Dragonetti, I"ll take Prokofiev any day.

[EsotericEggplant]

This piece is so epic- it is like the backgroung music to all the fables I read as a child, like Lord of the Rings or Beowolf...

[SleepingHog]

I love this, its my 100% favourite classical piece. A around the 2:05 min. mark is the best.

[texanhoustonguy]

kije at its best.

[Chuchmur]

enterrez moi avec ces notes

[ZordrakTheFirstFr]

bha moi jaime bien, pour une fois que japrecie une music de cet ordra là! en tous cas je trouve ça mieu que kidtonik....
