Добрый день, уважаемые слушатели и автор канала! Хочу выразить вам огромную благодарность за возможность послушать эту прекрасную 7 симфонию Прокофьева. Я - русская, и мне очень нравится музыка многих композиторов, но я и не думала, что захочу послушать его фортепианные концерты. И вдруг, благодаря Марте Аргерих, я открыла для себя его концерты, а потом - симфонии. Это модерн в музыке - блестящий, обоснованный, талантливый! Ничего не слышала прекраснее. Слушаю и слушаю! Браво русским композиторам, кои обогатили весь мир своими тонкими . возвышенными, неповторимыми эмоциями и учат людей всего мира любить Бога, жизнь, людей, надеяться, бороться, идти вперёд и побеждать! С любовью ко всем - Лариса.

I love this beautyful Symphony!

I find all seven of Prokofiev's symphonies to be interesting. The 7th is a nice swansong. It's depth is in the duality of the composer. Irony, is something Prokofiev shared with Shostakovich. Gergiev is one of the hardest working conductors in the business. If he looks a bit tired, he certainly is not conducting like he is. A wonderful symphony given a solid reading by conductor and orchestra.

@ediccartman7252

If you conducted nearly every day, you'd be a little bit tired too )) But still each conductor has a short list of works he can play even if you took him from the grave . Well in Gergiev's case this list is much longer and it definitely includes Prokofiev's symphonies .

The 7th is clearly the most approachable of Prokofiev’s symphonies (I guess along with the 1st). For those who are prepared to look further and persevere with a more difficult score, the 6th is his finest.

This work inhabits a similar world to Shostakovich's 15th symphony - a resigned farewell to the world. Beautiful.

Просто шедеврально! Нет слов!

I always thought this symphony as ode to the russian composers that came before him, I especially hear influences from tchaikovsky, rachmaninov and scriabin. Of course it still has the distinctive Prokofiev tone to it, but its a bit more straight forward and easier to listen than his other symphonies.

I like this ending better than the "coda" version (where the final movement's theme is repeated)

Absolutely the tops.

What happened to the coda? Is it optional? To answer my own question, from Wikipedia: "However, Prokofiev was later convinced to add an energetic and optimistic coda, so as to win the Stalin Prize of 100,000 rubles (because of official disapproval, Prokofiev was living in poverty at this time). Before he died, Prokofiev indicated that the original quiet ending was to be preferred" I actually like the alternative ending but it does change the whole meaning of the symphony. Either way, what a fine piece of music - balletic, symphonic, elegiac, refined and Prokofiev at his his most tuneful and profound.

@portapadelle

7 жыл бұрын

this is the original version, and reflects the true intentions of the composer, The "happy ending" coda you are referring to was added by him in order to gain the approval of the Soviet regime and possibly to win the Stalin Prize - Prokofiev at that time had fallen in disgrace and was in bad health conditions and living in poverty
