As a composer, I just want to say that Prokofiev, has influenced my concept of what represents the highest transcendence in music. We composers study the great ones of the past. This one however, was one from the future, of that, I am sure. There are times, that I can see even beyond the music in his work. That is a very heavy concept to comprehend. An alchemic transformation. I cannot say that of most composers. He is an intellectual, who is using an Aquarian mindset to tell a venusian story of emotions. He is more than brilliant, he is Merlin.
I love Bartók and Berg more than Prokofiev. Bartók and Berg are probably hard for ears but easier to comprehend whereas Prokofiev is easier for ears but difficult to comprehend. Prokofiev was a prodigy and could compose with virtuosic perfection in aggressive modernity where he often used bizarre toccata style, which made the impression that his music was emotionless. I think his later works in Soviets era were more understandable and mature because he stopped being modern and wrote in orthodox style.
You stole my line, I gradually came to the same conclusion. Prokofiev is fundamentally modern, futuristic in a more narrow meaning, both in the sense of the style of the beginning of the 20th century as well as in a much deeper meaning as the composer of the century to come 21st. I wonder what would you say about his contemporary Shostakovitch? I like them but I think about Shostakovitch more often because he captured the history of that very difficult dramatic epoch of my country, he did it, in my opinion in the most accurate way, reflecting a complex mixture of emotions that my parents had and I partially did too. And that is probably a certain limitation of Shostakovitch, it is impossible to understand and to enjoy him if you are not part of that time, do not know melodies that Shostakovitch constantly quotes, uses and recycles. And that is why, he is great but I'm not sure future generations would understand him fully. Prokofiev is for that very reason timeless - he is abstract, he does not quote anything and anybody: in his biography he plainly ridicules about "narodnoj" music, at that time it was a taboo ridicule folk music, but he did and maintained that his music has no roots in "narodnoj" music. Please write more.
@@YThome7 Shostakovich is considered one of the greatest composer in 20th century. His music is comprehensive art, the universe of human nature. Probably the mixture of dark, heavy and ironic light expressions is his cynical reaction to holistic Soviets politics. I love his Opera works like The Nose and Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. His symphonies seem to me Mahler extension. Unlike Prokofiev, I hear lots of influence from German music in Shostakovich's works.
World War II was still raging during the symphony's gestation, and Prokofiev composed it in the Soviet Union. He gave out in a statement at the time that he intended it as "a hymn to free and happy Man, to his mighty powers, his pure and noble spirit."[1] He added "I cannot say that I deliberately chose this theme. It was born in me and clamoured for expression. The music matured within me. It filled my soul." from Wikipedia
@@paulbeard4218 I'm not sure he forgot so much as tried to deliver an antithesis to it. And you can't blame him for not openly opposing Stalin right under his nose.
Written in just one month in 1944, this work is probably one of the last of truly great symphonies ever written over a period of 250 years. Sad that nobody listened.........
@@DavidA-ps1qr That's where I got the "its reception was always spot on" from -- history books. I think the tone in which you write is the reason why you've got some backlash with your comment here.
Excellent performance. Gergiev is phenomenal. This work, Berlioz's Dramatic Symphony, and Mahler's 8th hold a special place for me. They're 3 works I wanted to see performed live since my teens but for some reason wasn't able to see them live until my 40s.
Prokofiev takes us on an epic journey of the mind ... Counterpoints of Beauty and Ugliness, Harmony and Dissonance, Tension and Relief. Well executed by the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra.
My favorite symphony of all time, alongside Haydn's 104th London Symphony, and of course Beethoven's fifth. Thank you maestro Sergei, greatest son of Kyiev, you are a genius.
I guess Prokofiev is my favorite 20th century composer. Stravinsky's ballets a close second along with the operas of R. Strauss and the nocturn and Le Mer of Debussy. But I love that dark and forboding Soviet style. Shostokovitch too; really heavy with the ochestrated essence of Stalinism and long dark winters. Saw the Bolshoi do Prokofiev's Romeo & Julliet. Great composer!
Dear God, was at National Symphony Production in 1975 with Rostropovich conducting after he performed a Cello concerto which I apologize I can't recall the name of, this piece changed my life and channelled me into Stravinsky, Bartok and Debussy, fuckin awesome dude
Overwhelming, such a range of emotions.. I heard that finale was performed, coincided with a military artillery cannonade in 1943 in honer of victory under Stalingrad. It was performed in the center of Moscow Hall of Soviets and artillery was positioned over the Moscow River.
It was composed in 1944 and performed on January 13, 1945. You're welcome :) www.allmusic.com/composition/symphony-no-5-in-b-flat-major-op-100-mc0002366862
@@stacylovlace6974 Thank you, Stacy Lovlace, you are correct. I remember though reading about this timing with artillery cannonade in Richard Taruskin brilliant book "Defining Russia musically". I, as your corrected me, confused time, but in January of 1945 there were many artillery salutes in Moscow - Red Army driving Nazi Europe fast, liberating one capital after another.
Порой в партии струнных слышишь настоящий живой хор человеческих голосов. Браво, прекрасное исполнение! Sometimes you hear a real live chorus of human voices in the string part. Bravo, great performance!
There is something about the sound of Russian orchestras that is so thrilling and compelling. So many orchestras sound so generic these days, but Russian orchestras still have unique sonority and power.
I find the third movement simply astonishing. It has this strange ominous darkness about it, while simultaneously being extremely beautiful and singing.
Totally agree with you! Whenever I want my mind to move I turn to Prokofiev. Stunningly Beautiful! I often wonder, "Where was he in his mind to hear this music?" DJ
If you want to hear Prokofiev's incredible orchestration in all its glory go to Nezet-Seguin's performance on Y.T. recorded at the RAH/London - stunning!
I really enjoyed it, but I have to say this Marinsky performance exhibits some clarity in a number of solo entrances which one might have suspected never existed the way they are bulldozed over by orchestras in so many other performances out there. I'm no fan of Gergiev, but I find this performance an intriguing listen.
Bravo Prokofiev and Gergiev! Splendid! Timeless and Modern. Reaction of the audience is somewhat strange to me: Luke warm, polite. Russians react to this differently, because for "russians" listening this symphony is like re-living the triumph and it is already coded in their DNA.
I suppose if you were going to introduce someone to 20th century music that is firmly rooted in a classical/ romantic sound.... this would be the piece. Wonderful themes and quite brilliant.
15:20 is very similar to something from the first 10 minutes of the 3rd Louis Glass symphony, which came decades earlier, and which I first listened to today. It was very funny hearing what I had always thought of as a Prokofiev melody popping up out of nowhere in a 1901 piece. It makes you wonder what else is rattling around back there in the past.
Leonard Bernstein did a lecture on this years ago, the notion that there are certain ideas in the air at a particular moment. The one specific example I remember is the tonal relationship of a melody in "Oedipus Rex" to one in "Aida."
@@ediccartman7252 because it is too granular to be able to follow and makes tempo unclear to orchestra. Players need visual way points. They don't need every step of the journey to be indicated.
19:08 -20:59 I will never forget that part recording on the radio and have no idea what I was listening to.... It was stuck in my head forever and I finally found it a few years ago who the actual name was thankfully save the tape that I recorded it on Shazam it very memorable very polarizing
@Valerie Thompson: If you're not Russian you won't know. The USSR collapsed in 1990 and the West tried to scavenge it. You should look beyond Western propaganda. Putin and DUMA their parliament improved the Russians' health, education and living wages, he is a Russian nationalist. And Ukraine is a mess because of the West, there are neo-Nazis who killed 14,000 Russians. Detach the artist Gergiev from politics.
Интересная музыка интересного композитора. У Прокофьева, как у всякого выдающегося композитора, есть свой стиль, свои характерные черты. В целом ее отличают темперамент, оптимизм, эмоциональность, в ней много мелодических, ритмических, гармонических находок. Гергиев - талантливый дирижер. И оркестр у него хорош. Спасибо!
There's just something so satisfying about seeing a BBb tuba in an orchestra. They're common place in Europe, but here in the US all the orchestral players use C tubas. I get kinda tired of hearing the condescending attitude towards BBb tubas as being amatuer only instruments. What also surprises me is that the tubist is using a standard size horn rather than a 5/4 or 6/4 that seem to be popular here in the states.
CorvetteCoonass I recently went to BBb tuba as my primary orchestral tuba. I do however plan to eventually have both but have a smaller 4/4 or 5/4 CC to complement my 6/4 BBb. Cheers from Michigan!
This performance strikes me as somewhat routine-sounding and perfunctory. I find the rendition by the Rotterdam Philharmonic conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin that can be found on TH-cam as well far more committed and inspiring. It also benefits from more detailed and fuller audio quality. The comparison is ironic since Nézet-Séguin replaced Gergiev at Rotterdam before eventually leaving that post.
0:03: Tumult breaks out... 12:46 People are deported by train to an unknown destination. 20:58 The Holocaust. Pain, suffering and death. 33:49 The collapse of a regime... This is my interpretation.
@18:21 some of my favorite Tuba notes ever. D💥....D💥.....C#💥....C#💥.....C💥 (and the upper lines are crazy too: over the D💥, it's Trumpet: Bb A G# Bb A----, Bb A G# Bb A B---- and Horn: D E F E F D E, D E F E F D F; and over C#💥 is a *whole step* above: Trumpet: C B Bb C# A C# E G#---- and Horn: E G# E F E G Bb C#----. Perfect harmonies all around, crazy chromaticism that is somehow addictively melodic)
Our Asheville Symphony is doing this Saturday and the Cello guys will surely have music. So it's available thru normal music channels that orchestras use. Sorry I can't be more specific. Go on line and search. Good luck. Bill
Prokofiev and Shostakovich are my favorites, but all Russian orchestral music is imbued with a pathos that other, mainly European composers do not have. It is perhaps derived from their rich and particular history.
@@raulmonzon514 I totally agree with you Paul. There is something familiar about the Russians>their music just feels right. I don't know how to explain it. There is so much passion in the Russian's music. I love this piece but my favorites are Glazunov and Tchaikovsky.

What a magnificient interpretation of one of the greatest symphonies of all times !
World War II was still raging during the symphony's gestation, and Prokofiev composed it in the Soviet Union.

"Free and happy man" indeed ---- Prokofiev forgot the ugly reality of soviet power over the people .

20:58 The Holocaust. Pain, suffering and death.
33:49 The collapse of a regime...
This is my interpretation.
This very assertive music first plays Jan. 13, 1945 coming about a year & ½ after the Russians had repulsed the Germans July 12 1943.
This is the spirit that saved us from nazism. Like the dark notes of Alexander Nevski warned us of it.
Gergiev is the only Maestro I know who uses a toothpick to conduct the orchestra...
Marcato !!!
@18:21 some of my favorite Tuba notes ever. D💥....D💥.....C#💥....C#💥.....C💥 (and the upper lines are crazy too: over the D💥, it's Trumpet: Bb A G# Bb A----, Bb A G# Bb A B---- and Horn: D E F E F D E, D E F E F D F; and over C#💥 is a *whole step* above: Trumpet: C B Bb C# A C# E G#---- and Horn: E G# E F E G Bb C#----. Perfect harmonies all around, crazy chromaticism that is somehow addictively melodic)
hola podria encontrarme la partitura de esta pieza para violoncello...Hello could you find me the score of this piece for cello
Our Asheville Symphony is doing this Saturday and the Cello guys will surely have music. So it's available thru normal music channels that orchestras use. Sorry I can't be more specific. Go on line and search. Good luck. Bill
Russian composers are great.
Prokofiev and Shostakovich are my favorites, but all Russian orchestral music is imbued with a pathos that other, mainly European composers do not have. It is perhaps derived from their rich and particular history.
Bravi! Prokofiev, do this in the end of IIWar. I didn`t Know.
@@raulmonzon514 I totally agree with you Paul. There is something familiar about the Russians>their music just feels right. I don't know how to explain it. There is so much passion in the Russian's music. I love this piece but my favorites are Glazunov and Tchaikovsky.
90% of the great composers were Russian or German.
@@gemnox Not at all
The emotion of the first movement is almost unbearable. Slavic angst at its best
