(mainly his late works) About priorities... It's true I love Prokofiev, I like Rachmaninov but less... Even though, in music litterature Rachmaninov is considered as a (is not my term and I am really sorry about that because I do not share the expression at all) a minor composer. If you do not like opera you are missing something... Prokofiev's operas are terrific. The fairy angel is something... Of course he has 6 or 8 more (war and Peace, Simeon Kotko, The love for..., The marriage in the monastery, The gambler, etc). Sincerely, Martin
