Sergey Prokofiev
April 23, 1891 - March 5, 1953
born in Russia, composed during the Modern period
born in Russia, composed during the Modern period
Sergey Prokofiev (1891-1953) was among the most prolific and original composers of the first half of the 20th century, excelling in virtually every musical genre. Many of his early works were modernist, and like many Russian artists, he was censored during the Soviet regime, but he was able to adapt to its restrictions while retaining his artistic integrity. His best-known works include the cantata Alexander Nevsky, the film score Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet, and his "Classical" and Fifth symphonies. His children's tale Peter and the Wolf is one of the most familiar and beloved pieces of 20th century music. ~ Stephen Eddins, Rovi

Comments
contemporari e s . Philip Glass is also of the species and greatly inspired
by them especially when I am painting or drawing. James,
the cantata Lieutenant Kije... not the other way around.
