prokofiev--best melodist of 20th century?

[rojo]

Well, that explains that then.

Thanks some guy.

I'm a bit foggy on Love for Three Oranges because I haven't listened to it in a long time, so I don't know how to answer your question; I'll have to go check it out. I know it's not apples though. :crazy:

rojo - Opera Australia's recorded Love for Three Oranges in English, a wonderful production, recorded live at the Opera House over a few performances, then obviously spliced together. Nevertheless, a terrific performance as opera needs to be: live.

Prokofiev is a composer that i know only superficially, so i'd like to have suggestions because i'm really interested by the fact that a lot of people think of his as one of the greatest melodist of the century. I've listened only a couple of symphonies (5 and 6) and few other works, so any suggestion is welcome, above all thinking that now i'm particularly curious to discover the melodic aspect of his music.
Anyway, at this moment my favorite melodist of the century is Alec Wilder without a doubt.

My suggestion, listen to a lot of music. Keep doing it, over and over again.

Ignore all other suggestions.

(All of Prokofiev is fine. Do it!!)

better than Scriabin? And this genious died in 1915!!!!!!!! He's the greatest.
