Sergei Prokofiev entered the St. Petersburg conservatory at the age of 13. At that time one of the greatest composers of the 20th century was a cocky teenager who enjoyed startling his teachers - Rimsky-Korsakov, Lyadov and Tcherepnin. Myaskovsky encouraged his interest in Strauss, Debussy, Scriabin and Stravinsky. Being also a pianist and conductor, Prokofiev played the piano part at the premiere of hisdiploma work - The First Piano Concerto. The first public performance took place in 1912 under Konstantin Sarayev. Prokofiev's skills as a pianist were acknowledged by the Anton Rubinstein Prize in 1914. The concerto is written in the one-part form of sonata allegro with an introduction and conclusion. Though Prokofiev's music always remained tonal, his worksincluding the First Piano Concerto were very fresh, modern and often difficult to understand at that time. Prokofiev's music have been categorized as barbaric, eclectic, ironic, romantic, post-romantic and antiromantic, neoclassical, sarcastic, cosmopolitan, cold, industrial, lyrical, full of adrenaline, epic, schizophrenic... It looks like he cannot perfectly match any box ourmusicologists have been attempting to put him into. In fact his music simply reflects the controversial time in which he lived, its rapid dramatical changes. Four other concertos followed the first one during the next 20 years. Prokofiev composed more piano concertos than any other Russian composer. All piano parts were written to be performed by the author, except the Fourth Piano Concerto, which was commissioned by the Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein. He requested the piano part to be composed for the left hand only. Wittgenstein wrote ...

By now, the merchandising program is always in place when PBS sponsors another documentary series, whether one of Ken Burns' historical efforts or the films grouped under the heading The Blues in 2003, organized by Martin Scorsese: among other keepsakes, there is the coffee-table companion book, the DVD set, and, for the musical programs, the CD box set. All of these were rolled out in connection with Broadway: The American Musical, a six-part documentary broadcast in October 2004. And this single-disc CD is the cheapest item in the bunch (unless, perhaps, there's also a coffee mug), much less expensive than the box set of five CDs. Although it is called The Best of Broadway: The American Musical, it is not exactly a reduction of that set. The compilers have taken the opportunity to make alternate choices of material (one song per show) in several instances. Here, the ...
