this is the greatest ballet EVER written. Prokofiev is an absolute genius and was grossly under-mourned when he died. And by the way, both these movements are going to be the music played at my funeral because of the sheer beauty of them
Сергей Прокофьев гений,,,The great composer Sergei Prokofiev - a genius of his music is filled with all forms of life - a complex and deep majestic,,, he will remain for centuries !!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you listen to the Soundtrack for Force Awakens, specifically the scenes with Kylo Ren, you can tell John Williams gained a massive inspiration from Prokofiev, and this composition
So many modern film composers owe him their career. Prokofievs Alexander Nevsky was definitely the inspiration for the TMP Klingon theme as well. About the three minute mark ruclips.net/video/HdC39ShxoUo/видео.html
because Juliet faked her death to her family so they would put her in a mausoleum (after which Romeo would rescue her). But when she finds Romeo dead, THEN she actually kills herself
As Dgetz08 stated above, one of the most beautiful melodies ever. Also the saddest music in the world...especially that last minute. Kills me every time.
Deusa Da Morte Ana Lía Pelcastre ‘Cause he’s Prokofiev. I don’t think people ever thought Elfman was any better than Prokofiev or these CLASSICAL composers, as much as he is highly regarded.
Dgetz08, you are so right. I remember the first time I heard this i was completely caught offguard and stopped what I was doing. The 5-note series that begins at 8:52 has a most wistful quality to it.
Am I the only one that thinks John Williams ripped on this? I mean, I'm a huge fan of Prokofiev's works, but I've often felt this movement in particular sounds vaguely familiar to Starwars, particularly at 2:07 and 4:38. Thank you for posting this though. My recording was destroyed years ago, and now I have impetus to buy this album again.
+Overlord Soviet “Master” Dash -- Your comment betrays that you obviously do not know the story as written by Shakespeare. But you were probably in a public high school sometime in the past 20 years. The educational standards in the U.S. are deplorable.
Noe Berengena haha! Do I look American to you? Americans are the reason my country doesn't have education anymore! Communism thriumpbed through education. But you're right, capitalists despise education, it makes people question things. So they try to abolish it as much as possible, the result today is.. well, what you described. Soon they won't even know how to write anymore, and honestly, who will it bother? Capitalists will always have manual labor to work for them. That will never change. Anyway, I did read the story of Romeo and Juliet. Myself. And honestly I don't know why you think it should be mandatory on schools to know it. Its not like it changed the way we live today.
And let's not forget that poor little "persecuted " Shostakovich kept his job by ratting, and that Prokofiev died persecuted and alone by Shostakovich''s sometimes "benefactor " -- Josef Stalin -- on the same day.
@ByouDanseiKamiEnSai The Funeral March is a musical form though this wouldn't be characterized necessarily as a funeral march. It's usually a slow march in a minor key. Check out the first movement of Mahler 2 or 5. Mahler uses a lot of funeral marches. Also, beethoven's third "Eroica" 2nd Movement is titled March Funebre, also a funeral march
@PorkyPower100 Dude, don't worry. You're lacking severe self-confidence if you have doubts about your music taste. And even so, how can someone NOT like this?
Did you mean scary face? Actually not scary, just serious. Russians don't like permanently smiling peoples (considered as clowns), especially in old times.

I find it almost impossible to believe that Prokofiev could compose such good music without the help of a moustache
😭👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not THAT is a real compliment.
I thought there was something missing from him.
Imagine all that wasted potential
The emotional intensity of this piece takes my breath away.
Сергей Прокофьев гений,,,The great composer Sergei Prokofiev - a genius of his music is filled with all forms of life - a complex and deep majestic,,, he will remain for centuries !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely. And one of the saddest.....

Perfect!! True genius!
+Yaps Yes very perfect..!!!!...jzpatelut...India...
4:55 is the best climax that I've ever heard.
“Don’t be emotional, it’s just a song”
The song:
4:42 “My god Bones, what have I done?”
So many modern film composers owe him their career. Prokofievs Alexander Nevsky was definitely the inspiration for the TMP Klingon theme as well. About the three minute mark

I just heard that too and couldnt believe my ears
DIOOOOOSSSSSSSS MIIIIOOOOOOOO, QUE BELLEEEZAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ES PROKOFIEV!!!!!!!!!!!!
Including the dramatic first part, Romeo's despair?. That's exceedingly dramatic!.
sad story, i hope it doesn't repeat in the sadness of our existence with Vlad!
because Juliet faked her death to her family so they would put her in a mausoleum (after which Romeo would rescue her). But when she finds Romeo dead, THEN she actually kills herself

Yes indeed. Along with the second movement of the second Violin Concerto, this is as intense as it gets.
Cosa darei per sapere cosa vedeva la sua mente immaginifica mentre creava quest'opera immortale.
Questo brano per me in assoluto rappresenta, la DISPERAZIONE in assoluto per la MORTE DELL'AMORE...quello che tutti sogniamo ma che tanti TEMONO
And you people think Danny Elfman is a master....Prokofiev is a GOD!!
Deusa Da Morte Ana Lía Pelcastre ‘Cause he’s Prokofiev. I don’t think people ever thought Elfman was any better than Prokofiev or these CLASSICAL composers, as much as he is highly regarded.

A fantastic ballet score.
magnificent

the music of my soul

who came from Fringe? 3x9 Marionette.... remarkable music!
I knew it before Fringe, but that scene is what I see every time I hear it now. Haunting.
Conductor and orchestra?
😢😢😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Does anybody know the orchestra/conductor?

@Dgetz08 Agreed
so hauntingly beautiful
I have always loved this piece
it transports one into another realm
my mum is destroying my listening to music with her guitar exercises. Destroys all the drama. :(
4:12 - 4:38
this shit bangs
no pos estan bien rudas estas liricas y mas las de prokofiev q es mi artista y mi compositor faborito
Appropriately, during the destruction of the Enterprise
Wouldn't death come before the funerals..?
havent read or seen romeo and juliet im guessing
Yes I did. I just found it anti-climatic that's all.
+Overlord Soviet “Master” Dash Sometimes it's the other way. Gogol's death is one of the examples.

Would you like to do my homework at Cal? I need a three page essay on opera.
Why does that guy have to have a scary picture like that for? Lolz

Star Trek III at 4:38
blew my mind
During 7:07 It sounds that Home Alone!
It meant to say it during 7:07 It sounds like the Home Alone Movie!
I not it!
don't fall, may be in your brain that this has written before the movie?
The destruction of the enterprise!
Prokofiev was born in Ukraine... if he lives today...
GRANDE GENIO DELLA MUSICA
jjk
Other way round really...
Vladimir Putin?
no shit
No shaft.
No shape.
No shame.
