Prokofiev created this transcription of his ballet, Chout, while traveling in America. He used the transcription upon his return to France to gain the approval of his contemporary Igor Stravinsky, as well as Sergei Diaghilev who commissioned the ballet. Chout follows the strange story of seven vengeful “buffoons” who murder their wives after having been told by an eighth buffoon that the women could be resurrected. Only Prokofiev would be capable of composing music for such a ridiculous plot; this music is full of character, tragedy, and wit.
