Story of a Real Man
Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Хор Большого театра & Симфонический оркестр Большого театра & Mark Ermler
The Story of a Real Man is an opera by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, premiered in 1948. Musically it combines lyrical orchestral writing with robust choral and vocal writing and elements of martial and folkloric influence characteristic of Soviet-era realism, and it occupies a late-period place in Prokofiev's output as a move toward more direct, narrative-driven stage works in the post-war years.

First released: 2002
