Since It Is Russia's Day...

... as much as many of us love and adore Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Shostakovitch, Rimsky-Korsakov or Khachaturian, or Rachmaninov (good God, now that I started listing some of them--Russians love music, that's for sure), one of them probably is stand alone inventor of heavy metal and warfare music. Of course, I am talking about Prokofiev.

Let alone this piece:

Sadly, many still do not appreciate the late Soviet period (Prokofiev was a consummate Soviet composer too) with some of the most incredible pieces of music and cinematography. Andrei Petrov once wrote a music to a movie... and it became a masterpiece--both movie and soundtrack. 

But then again, who in the completely insulated and brainwashed West heard of Rybnikov? Go at it, it is a funny Monday today...  

 

So, in conclusion Prokofiev again. 

So, I am done for today.
