Sergej Sergeevic Prokof'ev (1891-1953) è stato un compositore, direttore d'orchestra e pianista russo di fama internazionale. Nato a Sontsi, nell'Impero Russo, Prokof'ev si distinse fin da giovane per il suo talento musicale, studiando al Conservatorio di San Pietroburgo sotto la guida di importanti maestri come Anatolij Liadov. La sua musica, caratterizzata da un linguaggio innovativo e audace, riscosse grande successo nella Russia zarista, pur suscitando anche critiche per le sue innovazioni. Dopo la Rivoluzione d'Ottobre, Prokof'ev visse in URSS, dove il suo stile musicale fu a volte messo in discussione dal regime stalinista. Nonostante le difficoltà, Prokof'ev mantenne sempre la sua indipendenza artistica, rifiutando ogni etichetta e continuando a comporre opere di grande originalità. La sua musica, ricca di contrasti e di emozioni intense, riflette l'epoca in cui visse: un periodo di grandi cambiamenti sociali e politici, ma anche di sperimentazione culturale. Tra le sue opere più celebri figurano la Sinfonia n. 5, il balletto Romeo e Giulietta, la Suite dal film Alexander Nevsky e la Cantata per la vittoria. Prokof'ev è considerato uno dei compositori più importanti del XX secolo, un maestro capace di coniugare modernità e tradizione, innovazione e classicismo.
