I didn't appreciate this score when I was younger for its long diversions from discernable melody and overall melancholy tone, but I have stumbled across a newfound affection for it. I feel as though I now understand Prokofiev's unique approach. Like Cinderella herself, the music finds profound elevations of beauty and structure amid persistent gloom and chaos. Really beautiful. I feel like it all comes together at the waltz.
+GlassMufasa Exactly the same for me. I first heard the complete score at a live performance and I thought it was a bit weird. Subsequently I decided to listen again and bought a recording so I could get to know it better. Move on 30 years or more and of course the sheer genius of Prokofiev is now so evident to me - I'm inclined to think Cinderella is possibly the finest ballet score ever written.
I've always felt that this was the most realistic Cinderella could be, in terms of music. The original Brothers Grimm story is so dark and even brutal that the "odd" nature, so to speak, of this piece really captures the melancholic tone of the story.
I found it so dry when I first heard it, but it's really grown on me over the years. Watching Matthew Bourne's Cinderella, set in the second world war, helped me to appreciate the depth & dark in it.
Прокофьев великолепен! Замечательная дерзкая, "юная" энергия. Бесконечное число интереснейших образов. Неисчерпаемый мелодизм. Очень красивая и "щедрая" музыка - радующая, удивляющая, дающая огромное удовольствие.
I love it, I love it, I love it! I listen to this recording every few days - usually during housework, and find myself dancing to it, too, impersonating all the characters, especially the ugly sisters 😂 😂😂
TROP BEAU SI FLATTEUR A L'OREILLE JE PLONGE LITTERALEMENT DANS UN MONDE PRESQUE INCONNU MYSTERIEUX ET MAGIQUE A LA FOIS .MERCI POUR CE MERVEILLEUX ET MAGNIFIQUE VOYAGE MUSICAL :))
@@marcparella Technically Wagner didn't wrote for any movie since he died before the very beginning of cinema. But his music style inspired the works of Gottfried Huppertz, who made the original music for the movie "Metropolis" (1927). #TheMoreYouKnow
Agree. Cinderella is sublime & awesome. Played violin 1 & 2 many times with English National Ballet on tour in UK. Amongst my happiest playing experiences for sure.
I've been fascinated and delighted by Prokofiev's work for more that 50 years (and by that of Shostakovich as well). I have another Rozhdestvensky recording of the complete "Cinderella" on a two-LP Musical Heritage Society set where he conducted the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra; the recording was licensed by Melodiya, but the only date is the MHS copyright of 1982. I saw a performance of his "Romeo and Juliet" ballet performed by the New Jersey Ballet more than 25 years ago - and have watched the exquisite performance on RUclips of this work by the La Scala ballet. Prokofiev was a great composer who managed to navigate (usually successfully) the treacherous waters of Soviet musical life; I often wonder how he would have developed had he stayed in the US - there're some clues to this in a couple of the symphonies he wrote during his time abroad also available on YT. Many thanks for posting this.
I've always thought of this wistful, magical, stunning score as Prokofiev's tribute to Tchaikovsky's trio of iconic ballet scores. Unlike his masterpiece Romeo & Juliet, Cinderella follows the formal structure of Tchaikovsky's variations, pas de deux, waltzes, and mazurkas but has the inimitable sound of Prokofiev's unique harmonics, dissonances, and tone colors.
Just reached the end of the score; what a lovely work. There's so much to it that one hardly knows where to begin the accolades. As always, I love Prokofiev's flirtations with dissonance - the little clashings and grindings that add spice to his work, perhaps his way of rebelling against the tyranny of the Soviet musical establishment. How ironic that he and his Tormentor in Chief, the Red Tsar, died on the same day . . . .
que bonita composición del gran Prokofiev. Este genio creó ballets y cantatas y conciertos y.........llenos de bravata y llenos de dulzura. Solo un genio como él
Sophie Joy I just saw it and the music doesn't sound the same? I might be mistaken but is it? Like Where's the section with the mother and her children in the hospital doing that walk thing? 😂
no one I agree some of it sounds slightly different but I assume that's due to the individual conductor and orchestra I think I know what walk you're on about and I think it's around 1:30:33 but it sounded more powerful when I went to see it like the section at 01:03:27 😂☺️
Masterpiece. I can totally see how the film composers (Williams, Elfman) were inspired. As a matter of fact, I hear the Asteroid belt from Empire Strikes Back around 10:20
Cenicienta op. 87, es un ballet compuesto por Serguéi Prokófiev con escenario de Nikolái Vólkov. Es una de sus composiciones más populares y melodiosas, y ha inspirado a un gran número de coreógrafos desde sus inicios. La pieza la compuso entre 1940 y 1944.
I'd say that this and Romeo & Juliet are the greatest ballet scores ever composed. The Rite of Spring is sensational but is a one-acter without a great range of emotion. Apart from Tchaikovsky's brilliant but unchallenging work, most ballet music (especially from the 19th century) is trivial and shallow. This stuff achieves symphonic grandeur.
You should add Delibes’ Coppelia and Sylvia to the 19th century list of great ballets. They are also symphonic masterpieces. Otherwise, as you said, beside Tchaikovsky’s ballets it’s all circus music.

Obrigado pelo teu trabalho e paciência.
Foi um prazer conhecer ponto a ponto dessa obra! :) Obrigado por me apresentar, mesmo que indiretamente, seu canal! ;) Abraço!
Muito obrigado. Tive o mesmo trabalho com o _Romeu e Julieta_, do mesmo compositor.
Thank you!
thanks

I think the melancholy got me the first time I heard it! Sublime!

Great ballet , great composer.

I can never fathom this masterpiece. The story telling is just so great.
Peter and the wolf drew me in, and it's a never-ending story of delight and wonder~

And the Oscar goes to... Sergei Prokofiev for inventing the modern theatrical sound track.
I believe more that it has been Wagner to invent the 'modern soundtrack'
@@mariel__ci3067 And what films did Richard Wagner score?
And to the greet Gennadij Roždestvenskij

Eric Korngold....I think you meant to say....
This may be my favorite Prokofiev score.

A truly great score by a 20th c master, in a robust performance! Thanks for posting.

Gorgeous. I just bought this very recording. Thanks so much for sharing. Music like this has more meaningful than ever.

Pain and sorrow of cindarella merged with the pain and madness of war of the composer in this piece.
Sir Matthew Bourne used this in his version of Cinderella and now I cant get enough of it, its utterly spellbinding.

Fabulous music. So happy to access it !! 🌹

We played parts of this for my marching band field show Cinders. I love the original version of the music.
I will be Cinderella!!

Give The Prodigal Son a try... a very intense piece.

For melodies, I like La Bayadere by Minkus.
1:12:21 Howling III's ballerina/werewolf transformation brought me here!! (They could also probably use this bit for a Die Hard movie!!)
you tube make me feel better
also, is it just me, or do you also see the time changing from 1:47 to 1:46:59???
Man, the brass players definitely have it rough on this one. Totally worth the pain in the lips, though.
I'm reading Oliver Twist (chapter 24) and listening to the end of the second act. It goes so well 🤣
