Sergei Prokofiev - Lieutenant Kijé Played by the Orchestre National de France under the direction of Lorin Maazel. The main melody is used as sort of a chorus in the song 'Russians' by Sting.
I just discovered that Sting got the impetus for his song, "Russians" from this composer. I love both songs. And I love learning about music, old and new.
Así es, Sting sobre el "Romance", compuso la antibelicista RUSSIANS ¿acaso no aman a sus niños e hijos? Parece muy claro que no. Sólo para mandarlos a matar y morir, constantemente desde 1917. Muy triste y bárbaro pueblo ávido de crimen y sangre.
This is film music people. And Prokofiev invented the modern soundtrack genre. He doesn't have a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Stravinsky does and so does Leonard Bernstein. I think Sergei who gave us this very magical and theatrical style of film music deserves a star. Besides he wrote this before any of the Hollywood composers were household names.
+buskov: Sure he does. Prokofiev bought a car in Hollywood and was fascinated with the place. Besides Stravinsky has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and he contributed nothing to film music.
+Marc Parella He didn't invent the modern soundtrack, not as much as De Bussy or any other musician from the 19th. he 'just' was a great composer. it's the other way around : contemporary composers (Zimmer, Horner ...) got inspired by classical music.
I really think a lot of the classical composers would be doing music for movies. Back in their day they had to get funding from some King or Nobleman. Today they could just work in the free market.
Sting indeed. I overheard a friend of mine once playing the melodic refrain on her flute and, of course, loving this Prokofiev piece, I commented excitedly, "Oh, you're playing Prokofiev!" She corrected me, "No, I'm playing Sting! Who's Prokoff what?"
La mélodie de la romance est empruntée à une chanson populaire russe : La colombe grise gémit. Ce thème a été repris en 1985 par le chanteur pop Sting dans Russians.
His father, Sergei Alexeyevich Prokofiev, was an agronomist from a mercantile family in Moscow. Prokofiev's mother, Maria (née Zhitkova), came from a Saint Petersburg[12] family of former serfs who had been owned by the Sheremetev family, under whose patronage serf-children were taught theatre and arts from an early age
Listened to this song in a music lesson at school. Normally music lessons are kind of boring as I suck at it, but damn this song is beautiful, really moved me.
Not only cinema music but this exquisite piece made it as a musical quotation in Sting's "Russians" from his first solo album in 1985. It's used most effectively, too. I hope it's brought a few people from that world to hear the whole Suite. Speaking of John Williams, whose talent is considerable, his famous march from Star Wars is very much influenced by the march from The Love for Three Oranges, to give one example.
He took all the romance out of it and turned it into a communist Dirge though. Prokofiev was not a communist, nor is this haunting romance a dirge. I do love "Russians", but I think he could have picked a different tune.
I just listened to this three times in a row and I don't know why I'm wasting my time writing this comment when I should be hitting the play button for a fourth
Few appreciate the contributions of Prokofiev~ decades of cinema music, TV themes, yes Hogwarts etc were born of this brilliant mans innovations! One of the most beautiful pieces ever (including the future!)
When the Celeste comes in, it really hits me in the feels and then on the next part with the saxophone and flute... Idk it just feels really nostalgic for some reason...
I was watching a movie from 1958 " Horses Mouth" with Alec Guinness and halfway Through i heard this tune which i was wracking my brains out to think where i had heard it before AND BINGO i remembered Sting singing this , I didnt realise but Sting Basically stole the Music and added his own Lyrics But he did give Prokofiev Credit on the Song Listing , Absolutely Beautiful piece of Music .
You probably don’t even remember writing this comment, maybe you don’t own your account anymore… but I wanted to say hi, just to remember you something.
I think this is my favorite classical music piece. I find it really ...I don't know how to describe it...Maybe these adjectives: Powerful, sincere, deep, gloomy, dreamy and ,... utterly Russian !!!! (at least what I imagine Russia to be like from my imagination).
I love this music, it reminds me of a cold -30 degree day, with the brilliant white snow and the sun shining. Northern Canada is beautiful but brutal in winter. The stars seem to twinkle more,and the freezing air clean and pure. Prokofiev was persecuted by Stalin. His music is timeless.
@@TheLarastarr I know my history much better than you and I don't need to read your russophobe antisoviet propaganda. Prokofiev was 6-time winner of Stalin's prize and favoured by Soviet government.
Сталин и Прокофьев умерли в один день. Все цветы в Москве были куплены для Сталина, а друзья и ученики принесли растения в горшках для Прокофьева. Ему цветов не досталась! Прокофьев это мировой талант, Сталин это тиран!
What I love about Prokofiev is he lends a 20th century Russian take on classical music composition. To me it is dark yet beautiful, like an old fairy tale.
Blood Sweat and Tears also used this melody in their version of 40,000 Headmen on BS&T3. They also used Monk's I Mean You in the same tune, and in fact played all three melodies at the same time towards the end of the song

YEAH! And Variations Angli Piano from B. Bartok, too.
+Carmela Pedinni Sting was the former lead singer of The Police. On his first solo album, he adapted the melody from this piece into the bridge between verses in his song "Russians". I had never heard the original Prokofiev piece until now.
Yeah Said it's all right I won't forget All the times I've waited patiently for you And you'll do just what you choose to do And I will be alone again tonight my dear Yeah I heard a funny thing Somebody said to me "You know that I could be in love with almost everyone I think that people are the greatest fun And I will be alone again tonight my dear
Awesome I actually saw this live performance but not by the Orchetre de France, but the Orchestre de Paris. Brought my level of music appreciation sky rocketing!!!
Je crois que la moitié des gens en histoire des arts on choisi l'option "flemme" et on donc pris Russian de sting et sont venus voir cette magnifique oeuvre soit 1) En cours de musique ou d'histoire 2) on trouver la référence a russian aux premier aide sur internet et sont venus l'écouter.
Io amo immensamente i miei due bambini russi e anche mia moglie che è russa. Confermo per esperienza che i russi amano immensamente i bambini di qualsiasi posto del mondo e non solo i loro figli
This piece is wonderful, one of the best melodies ver written by Prokofiev. It sounds to me like an old jewish song, I don't know whether this can be confirmed or not.
So did I, and when I first saw the name “lieutenant Kije” I thought it would be about a heroic lieutenant fighting in a war and caring for his girlfriend... and I am Russian, and didn’t know the original name was actually “Poruchik Kije” (Poruchik is about the same as lieutenant). And it turned out to be a comedy maybe even a satirical piece... was a little surprised.

Hi friend check out Sabac Red - Speak militant .. Peace
One Russian film company that used to make great movies in the 90s and 00s also used it as an intro for their films.
Yes russians samples this and its amazing, true artistry
One of the most beautiful pieces ever written in the music history.

Russians brought me here. I adore classical music and know a lot of pieces but this one had elduded me for ages. It's really nice and evocative
Funny, Blood Sweat and Tears version of Traffic's 40 000 headmans brought me here.
1:09 gives me goose bumps. The whole piece does, really. Prokofiev truly is a master of the melody.
Im so impressed that Sting could made a modern new song, inspired by this and keep the beauty in it..
inspired? I would say that he copied the music completely and only added the lyrics to it.
Inspired ??????
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stings "The Russians" brought me here. It's a beautiful piece of music.
Russian cinema studios brought me here: th-cam.com/video/uQColEdhxlI/w-d-xo.html

J'adore Prokofiev tout comme j'aime la variation made in Sting dans Russians !
Probably one of the most touching pieces I have ever heard in my entire life, this Romance section is something beyond our comprehension.
One of my all time favorite pieces. So beautiful.
Always mysterious and lovely, is Prokofiev.
I'm shure Sting loves this song too ;)
Sounds like you're sure of that.
He took all the romance out of it and turned it into a communist Dirge though. Prokofiev was not a communist, nor is this haunting romance a dirge. I do love "Russians", but I think he could have picked a different tune.

Solo bass then joined by a solo viola. And then followed by a solo on the celesta at 1:10. Prokofiev is Orchestration City! Woo hoo!
弦バスのソロコンの曲を探してた時に聴き、迷わずこれに決めました。
なかなかピアノと弦バスで表現するのは難しかったからあまりいいセレクトではなかったけれど、この曲が本当にやりたかったから悔いは無かったです。

We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
very beautiful music
i love it
The song uses the Romance theme from the Lieutenant Kijé Suite by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev
Cette musique me fait penser à skyrim.
Et merci le cours de musique.
Exact, merci le cours de musique 😂
More than beautiful :)
He's awesome.
Really beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.

@samo314159 As I said in the video information, it's by the Orchestre National de France, the French National Orchestra. Directed by Lorin Maazel.
I feel I must give a random answer to this comment.
@R4nd0m Us3r = Would be Better if you gave the DATES =
= of PROKOFIEV Composition ?
= of the MAAZEL Concert ?
Une dissertation d histoire est assurée sur cette chanson... surtout si vous la mettez à la fin
Tant de cynisme et de snobisme rendent aveugle à la simple beauté.
Qui dénonces-tu ?
@@Baul_spiral9629 elle-même
I love it so much.... I listened it when I was young...
Sting has always admitted to getting inspiration from Prokofiev... No plagiarism at all
He didn't talk about the real author a lot if you don't ask him, a smart business man this Sting....
Also it passed into the public domain
Is identical...
genius
Haha, good one. The soundtrack to Gladiator also references this awesome theme ;)
Le génie Russe par excellence !
Beautiful.

Not really.
