Composers of the Week: Miaskovsky and Roslavets

on BBC Radio 3

4/5. The years of civil war in Russia from 1917 to 1920 were appalling, many composers, including Prokofiev, left while they could, but Miaskovsky and Roslavets stayed and, despite opposition from those who felt that music's goal in the new regime was to be completely proletarian, to be both understood and performed by the masses, they enjoyed for a few years the freedom to compose as they pleased.
