Classical Journey: Episode 59 - The Russians

Sting
Tchaikovsky
Sergei Prokofiev
Beatrice Rana
A controversial song in its day. Russians. "Russians" is a topical anti-war song by Sting, from his debut solo album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, released in July 1985, and released as a single in November. Russians, an adaptation of Prokofiev’s Romance. Today, our playlist is Russian. Prokofiev, then Tchaikovsky. She is only 23, yet Beatrice Rana is making waves on the international music scene, arousing admiration and interest from conductors, critics and audiences around the world. We give you Beatrice Rana on piano, playing the work of Russian composer, Sergei Prokofiev. Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor Op. 16, a work which was first destroyed during the Russian revolution but rewritten in 1923.
