  • This is the most popular number in the Orchestral Suite that comes from the score Prokofiev wrote for the 1934 Soviet film "Lieutenant Kije." A 'troika' is a three-horse sleigh, so this music is often heard at Christmas time. In this superb 1950s stereo recording, Anatole Fistoulari conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra. (From 'Guild Historical' GHCD 2391).

      No in the same manner that King Crimson did a version of Holst's Mars The Bringer Of War and credited it to an arrangement by themselves, you can also mention how Eric Carmen used parts of the Second Movement within the Second Piano Concerto by Sergei Rachmaninoff for All by Myself.

  • @estebanjimenez420

    actually this has nothing to do with Christmas. In the film, the officer who caused the whole Lieutenant Kizhe mess is traveling with an outpost commander in the troika sled, getting progressively drunken on vodka and finally crashing at their destination. The song is more about how love is like an inn where women go out and go in. Still, it has become a quintessential Russian theme and a cherished Christmas song. ej

    Fearful excitement. To see the segment in the movie you have to laugh and look away :), but so well done, not only a capture of the feelings there must be on a night time sleigh ride (I’ve never), but a musical emotion (Pizzicato Plus) that would be shared in so many exciting events in our lives. Mr. Prokofiev, you are a eternal.

    Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) Compositor Ruso de vital importancia en la música del Siglo XX, lo que aquí les muestro es una parte de "El Teniente Kijé" , una Suite Sinfónica Opus 60 , compuesta en 1933 y llevada al cine en Rusia en el año 1934 por un Director llamado Alexander Fajntsimmer. Consta de cinco partes, Nacimiento, Romance , Boda, Troika y Funeral. Esta es la "Troika", (carruaje tirado por tres caballos).Una versión famosa de los años 50, dirigida por Anatole Fistoulari con la Orquesta Filármonica de Londres. La música de Prokofiev es muy hermosa en su total.
