There is nothing schlocky about the music. Quite the contrary. There is a considerable body of excellent music written for film soundtracks. The soundtrack for Nevsky does not contain the complete score. It's worth buying the complete suite.

Besides, who's cultured? I just love music.

There is something deeply moving about Russian harmonies. You can hear it clearly in the folk music. Songs like Meadowlands and Volga Boatman come to mind. It can be morose and wrenchingly beautiful at the same time. Or it can be heroic, like the Gates of Kiev (in Pictures at an exhibition). But it is still unmistakably Russian.

TTFN,

I've seen better battles on the ice in the NHL. And in color, so you can see the blood. I did love the monk on the organ, though. It is not widely known that the monk was played by Jimmy Durante in one of his greatest performances.

Blue, Prokofiev never wrote schlock! Is the music in "Amadeus" schlock? Huh, huh?

Sergei Eisenstein, one of the greatest directors of all time, directed Nevsky...And the battle on the ice is justly considered one of the greatest movie sequences of all time...

Whazzamatter, don't you consider cinema an art form?? Or you think "cultured guys" don't consider it an art form? Huh, huh??
