@dicthash Go read and learn for yourself before calling me "brainwashed". I love the Soviet time, but it's known that Prokofiev was banned by the Party because of "bourgeois" music.

Considering that the guy in the bearded mustachio loves to eat banana's, I say that Prokofiev like them too!!!

@MrCC379 OSEM's music director, Enrique Batiz,, is infamous for not letting the tv crew show guest conductors on the orchestra's broadcasts.....

One problem, there's hardly ever a shot of the conductor. What's up with that?

absolute bullshit as for "dictatorship's fear". You are brainwashed

This fabulous piece always leaves me stumbling around in a haze after hearing it... you can just feel Prokofiev bringing the power on every page.

Considering this chilling and disturbing masterpiece a mere political anthem would be a mistake. We can only guess what Prokofiev was doing here... this piece is loaded with unsettling subtext. This being music, a person can of course just take it as pure abstract genius, but in addition to that, I personally sense tangible, overwhelming fear in many pages of this piece. Others might disagree.
