Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Kirill Karabits & Ernst‐Senff‐Chor & Staatskapelle Weimar

Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution is a cantata by Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1937. The work employs large choral and orchestral forces with declamatory choruses, brass fanfares and contrasting lyrical episodes, and it reflects Prokofiev's late-1930s turn toward more publicly oriented, politically engaged vocal-orchestral writing within the Soviet cultural context.
First released: 2017
