I say pro-KO-fjev
- where the "o" in "pro" is not as long as in, say, progressive; also, a "Russian" r (but not super exaggerated as some people do it)
- though the "ko" is the stressed syllable, it is a short stress so the same deal with the "o" in "ko," not so long..
- the fjev (or "fyev" to some interpretation) is self explanatory i think..
Yesterday someone I know asked me if I knew of and liked Shostakovich, because she's singing a choral work of his (I responded um... well not THAT much, but I'm more so familiar with his symphonic works, rather than vocal).
Anyway, she pronounced it Sho-stah-KO-vich.
I've heard that pronounciation several times here, but both my teacher and I say Sho-STAH-kovich (the "h" merely being placed there so that it's the "ah" not "ay" sound).
How about you guys?

Prokofiev=prOkofijEv
I know a russian person I asked and said that this was the right way.
But names is more difficult than normal words so I am not 100% sure.

I aksed another russian who actually knows a lot about music and she said that this was the correct way to say it.
Prakofjev
The O after the r should be A. And you should almost not here the r.

Why pronounce the names the English way if the names aren´t English?
