If you see a bunch of senioritas dancing to this music in your mind's eye, you've got the wrong image. This is Soviet Sailors Dance: during the Civil War the Soviet Navy would deliver the Scuds, and, after hours, the sailors would dance to this. Yes, life was rough in the Soviet Navy in the thirties; you try dancing to this, but the castanets helped.
I am still shaking; another extraordinary performance by Midori. Her sound was so transcended that it pulled me down to the deep bosom of me. I could not help thinking my life as listening to her violin. She shakes my soul all the time.

Does anyone else find this head-bobbing and such terribly hilarious? The conductor and the violinist, and some of the others facial expressions are just so out of place. Part of it is being in the music yes, but the extent of it is comical xD
omg this piece is hard. it will probably take me a year to learn the whole concerto. But now i'm learning Carmen Fantasy and Ziguerweisen so i'll wait.
ella hace que esta musica de verdad sea un misterio.esta musica es muy sabrosa ritmica y melodicamente.los acentos hacen que suene una delicia.que facilidad tiene ella para ejecutar esta cancion.
beyond belief - midori proves that humans can do the impossible

Wow she is amazing playng. Prokofiev wrote many dark intense (super hard to play) music and Midori plays with the intensity he wanted.

After thinking it over, yes, I got those Russian sailors right. I see Midori, I think of the Russian sailors, draw your own conclusions.
