Kata in allegorical mode, like a David Hockney work.

I like Hockney's work.

Re: The Best of Europe
Gamal brought to my jetlagged mind Russian revolutionary music: lyrical and melodic, and at the same time theatrically capricious and sly.
I guess I should hide some of my thoughts and impressions not to be called a lunatic, as Prokofiev did until Stalin died.

They died the same day. There's a funny story about it.

Re: The Best of Europe
I know several stories about Prokofiev and Stalin, but none of them is funny.
Re: The Best of Europe
There is an anecdote that Grzegorz Fitelberg, director of Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra came to recording studio the next day and said: "Gentelmen, please stand up. The great Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev died tonight. Let's celebrate this with a minute of silence" and after a minute he asked concertmaster "Mister Wochniak, I've heard that Stalin had also died?"

Re: The Best of Europe
The movie The Death of Stalin is quite good.
