Talk:Symphony-Concerto (Prokofiev)

Movement headings: according to Prokofiev.org

dead and possibly dangerous link, can we remove from here?, has been replaced by reference to B&H score as below Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:03, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Superfluous paragraph?

"On February 10, 1948 the Soviet Central Committee decided that Prokofiev should be considered a "suspect" musician. His work was disparaged as bourgeois and formalistic, and his first wife was convicted as a spy and taken to a forced-labor camp. These misfortunes and the possibility of being arrested without reason most likely affected Prokofiev's already deteriorating health."

This doesn't seem to have any relation to the writing or performance of the symphony-concerto. Surely it should be cut? - 152.76.1.244 (talk) 04:29, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Indeed it is not very relevant. I replaced it with something maybe more satisfactory. I hope somebody will expand this whole article to a reasonable size. Opus131 (talk) 00:36, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

movement headings

the movement headings are

1. Andante
2. Allegro giusto
3. Andante con moto; Allegro

not as listed. Whence the discrepancy? Schissel | Sound the Note! 21:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

The Movement Headings as they are now, are the same I have in my score (Boosey&Hawkes pocket score No. 790) Jrcramer (talk) 10:16, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Older newly released live "recording"- worth adding?...

A large "Russian Legends" series from Brilliant Classics devoted to various pianists, violinists and two cellists (Rostropovich and Shafran) includes, on the first (no. 8713-84, I think; CD no.84, specifically) of 10 CDs devoted to Rostropovich, a December 27 1972 concert with Rostropovich/Kondrashin/Moscow Phil., this work and Myaskovsky's concerto. Worth a mention?... Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:01, 28 April 2013 (UTC) (the set also has (CD 97, with a Shostakovich VC 2 also from 1961, different date and conductor) a live recording with Daniil Shafran - I see no commercial recording by him of the work here? - from 1961, with Rozhdestvensky/USSR State Symphony.) (Ok, that date 1961 can't be right for the Shostakovich...)
