Sergei Prokofiev (1891 - 1953) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. As a composer he is renowned for his wonderfully distinctive style, bold and colourful passages, brittle wit, and pungent drama. He made major contributions to almost every musical genre and is generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century.
