When I was in the Junior School in England. One teacher used to play classical music as we entered the hall for assembly so as to try to introduce us to the medium. This was one of the pieces and I've never forgotten it and love classical music. So to that teacher thank you.

What must be remembered is this was originally done as a film soundtrack, which Prokofiev then made into this "suite", doing us all the great favour of arranging and notating his marvelous soundtrack, so it could enter the repertoire. Prokofiev was determined to keep the best of the original soundtrack music-- even improving on it-- so the suite itself would effectively tell this humourous, lovely story. Every film and TV producer since then has copied some element of Prokofiev.

Part of this was used at the conclusion of Woody Allen's movie "Love and Death". Where Woody dances with Death. Hilarious movie.

It's a wonderful work, including all of the innovative instrumentation. The story of "Lieutenant Kije" is also quite funny. When I played it in orchestra we followed Prokofiev's original directions and put the solo trumpeter up in the balcony; very effective. Let's not saddle this with "Soviet" culture. It's Russian.

+Bluehawk2008 Prokofiev himself got in quite a bit of trouble for "formalism" with the Soviet bureaucracy, though. Andrei Zhdanov, one of Stalin's inner circle, who launched the "Zdhanovschina," accused Prokofiev, Shostakovich, and others of "flirting with imperialistic tastes" in their music. Prokofiev basically told him to piss off.

Yes, that is one thing that ELP were very good at; exposing younger audiences to classical music through their use of classical themes in their own works. I'm sure countless people were turned on to Mussorgsky, Ginastera, Copland and other composers thanks to ELP!

Wow! How idiomatic a performance this is! About the only benefit that one could ever have gotten from living so deep in the Soviet bloc (Kosice is very close to the old Soviet-Czechoslovak border) is that one got one's Russian/Soviet culture practically undiluted. I can feel the horses along the rutted path or the cobblestone streets. This is the most satisfying recording of Leutenant Kije that I have ever heard!

Loved this piece for years - ever since hearing parts of it in Woody Allen's movie "Love and Death." Erich Leinsdorf and Claudio Abbado have been my favorites, but this is unique and every bit as good! Paced just a shade more deliberately than usual, Magrelia gets playing of real character from the Kosice orchestra. Details are lovingly revealed and there is no trace of the routine. Good sound. Thanks for sharing!
