Lieutenant Kije (Kizhe in Russian)

Frank Mitch

Opening night 60th season Akron Symphony, very great program. Enjoyed very much Lieutenant Kije, Symphony by Prokofiev (1933-1934); also Romeo and Juliet overture by Tchaikovsky, and Sebelius Symphony No. 1.

    Frank Mitch Learned tonight about a video of the original Lieutenant Kije (Kizhe in Russian) movie made in Russia in 1934 using the Prokofiev music. Go to Google videos to find this 90 minute video. Unforgetable!

    Frank Mitch Here is a shortcut directly to the Video: http://bit.ly/CRDaN
    Keep in mind the Lt. Kije is imaginary, created because the military was afraid to anger the Czar about a spelling error.
