Extraordinary, very moving performance. Knowing the masterpiece from live amateur concerts, THIS is how the music sounded in my mind then - and now we can listen to it. Incredible also that the powerful emotions come through even though this is a recording. Imagine how it must have affected the live audience :)

Field of the Dead is sung so heart-rendingly. What a deathly beautiful interpretation. If Ewa Podles sings it like she's channelling the blood-soaked earth of the battlefield, this is more like the icy wind shifting through the twisted carnage like a lonesome ghost, set against a barely moving sky with the sunrise but a sanguine smear.

As a matter of fact, I can play the piano, the guitar and sing. I have composed several pieces myself.

You, on the contrary, attack a random comment on Youtube without providing any evidence of technical issues on the interpretation, or even a contrasting argument that we could learn from.

And even if you had the arguments, you have no right to contest or derive ad hominem statements from my personal appreciation for this piece or its interpretation, you little-minded, little person.

Удивительно то, с каким глубоким смыслом исполнили Оп.78 великолепные мастера: Кетеван Кемоклидзе, Хор Санта-Сицилия и музыканты Петербургской Филармонии. Так настроить огромный коллектив и исполнить гениальную музыку Сергея Сергеевича Прокофьева мог только Юрий Хатуевич Темирканов, - гениальный художник, человек в доме которого в давние годы гостил сам композитор и, прежде всего, - человек мальчиком встретивший так кошмар войны, человек исключительной силы духа, великой души.

Non posso sentire la cantata dei morti, senza brividi, e piango. Questa musica profetica di Prokofiev, ci costringe a ricordare i ventisette milioni di morti russi, civili e soldati, trucidati dalle truppe nazifasciste mandate ad aggredire l'URSS, dalla congiura occidentale architettata e condotta a termine a Monaco nel 1938 (trasformata per fortuna da Stalin in una guerra tra di loro).

I'm not a fan of vocals in symphonies, so I tend to mentally block out the "Field of the Dead" when I'm listening to this piece. But about 20 seconds into Ketevan Kemoklidze's rendition, I just had to put aside my work to listen. 'Nuff said.

Bruce Wallace pretty sure no one has ever said that

Adrian Edwards

@Nicholas Manila I think he meant "great art", and this prejudice still exists (less so, now), despite music like this, and the film music of Vaughan Williams, Shostakovich and Walton being the equal to much "pure music" of the concert hall.

Viejotrueno

normally movie scores don't have to work without the images, but sometimes it happens like this one... basically because it's a rearrangement Prokofiev made from the film score. He gave it a cantata form which makes all this music coherent and comprehensible...
in a typical movie score you have musical fragments to accompanying scenes, if you listen to that at once it doesn't make much sense.
put it together again with the movie and it works

Splendid! Even for 21 century Prokofiev is so modern. Is it Phyladelphia orchestra? Tuba is superhuman. It is a messenger, not a musician. The idea of Alexander Nevsky, was communicated to Russian people just in time: both through music and visually through the movie. This idea no matter how historically accurate saved Russia from United Nazi Europe in 1941-1945. Is it still alive? What does this music tell to modern Russians?

That's a great "Field of the Dead" as mentioned. But overall this is a wobbly, ragged performance. They really needed at least 2 more rehearsals. The tepid applause at the end (admittedly interspersed with shouts) seems about right.

There are innacuracies in this performance. Choir intonation is bad in first movement. Horns and trumpets are chronically problematic in all high pitch attacas. Conductor is all fashioned and looking in pariture rather as some old profesoree then performing artist. However, still general idea how should be done and played and atmonsphere is there. Battle on the ice is tempo a bit like Schostakovitch Leningrad symphony idea, it sounds interesting, but choir is struggling in that tempo, and many suptile elements of the partiture are (completely) sacrifised for that galloping character (which is important but not prevalent). Interesting to hear, but not effective as should be.

@Kevin Corcoran Incompetent, no doubt; fools, I doubt. One would have thought that someone in YouTube's marketing department had read and thought about our criticisms, s/he would have arranged the necessary changes in ad placement. After all, we're constrained to view the ads; why not make our further viewing & listening a more pleasant experience?

Some people work as if they were automatons, not programmed to have an appropriate monitor function. Then too, how often in the US, esp. at certain levels of gov't or business, those responsible for some tragic or potentially catastrophic error go scot free.

Shakespeare tells us that things without remedy should be without regard. For many of us, alas, telling the difference isn't all that easy.

If you as an individual lack influence, the best way to effect change appears to work with a mass movement. Cf. the recent protests in Paris over President Macron's proposed increase in fuel taxes. As of this writing it's been postponed, if not abandoned. Score one for the farmers, blue collar workers, et al.

Tony Logan

@Vazir Mukhtar It should be so easy to just overthrow the trillion dollars plus corporate littering industry of advertising. And then you have all the brainwashed zombies who will defend the trash makers as they trash out the entire planet....
