A docudrama about one of the most prominent and independent composers of the 20th century.
In the Wayward P., we will focus on the life and the works of the Russian 20th-century composer Sergei Prokofiev for two hours. Undoubtedly, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Today, we will listen to his first Piano Sonata and a symphony of his first teachers S. Taneyev and R. Gliére. Both were teaching at the conservatoire in Moscow and they both – in their own way – influenced his later works, even though he strongly denied this.
• Sergei Prokofiev. First Piano Sonata. Stephane Ginsburgh (piano)
• S. Taneyev- String Quartet No. 5 Op. 13 in A Major. For two violins, viola, and cello. Carpe Diem String Quartet.
-R. Glière- First Symphony Op. 8 in E-flat Major. BBC Philharmonic conducted by Edward Downes
