Sergei Prokofiev was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor, regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. Born on April 23, 1891, in Sontsovka, now part of Ukraine, he displayed extraordinary musical talents from a very young age. Prokofiev's compositional career was both prolific and diverse, spanning a variety of genres including ballets, operas, symphonies, and concertos. His bold experimentation with new musical idioms and his embrace of dissonance and unconventional melodic lines established him as an innovative force in the music world.
Prokofiev's music is characterized by its energetic rhythm, striking melodies, and intricate orchestration. Some of his most famous works include "Peter and the Wolf," a children's tale for narrator and orchestra; the "Classical" Symphony No. 1, which combines traditional symphonic form with modern elements; and his Romeo and Juliet ballet suites, widely admired for their passionate music that vividly tells Shakespeare's tragic love story through sound. Despite facing political challenges upon his return to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, Prokofiev continued to compose until his death on March 5, 1953, leaving behind a rich and influential body of work that continues to be celebrated and interpretated by musicians and audiences around the world.
