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.

I say: "a-'ooh-lee-an nights" where the apostrophe is an accent mark for the second syllable. , and the "a" is a standard "a" sound as opposed to the so-called "soft" a sound which would be written "ah."
I dunno if this has been discussed, but how about Scriabin? I tend to say "SKREE-ah-benh" but many American speakers--at least, many as far as I'm concerned, heh, it's not like I know many people around here who actually know who Scriabin is--seem to say "skree-AH-bunh." Any ideas? Just curious, really. I might not care much for Russian music in general, at least at this point in my life, but their names have always fascinated me!

Wow, watch the caps there.
I've always pronounced Scriabin like "Skry-ah-bin" but I've never heard anyone else pronounce it so I really don't know.

It just occurred to me -- how do you actually pronounce Sorabji?

And while we're at it, what about Debussy?
I usually say it as in french, but with an accent on the e (e as in egg) and a french u, like this:
Dé-BU-SI (like début, but with a si on the end)
Does anyone know if this is the right way?
One of my friends piano-teacher taught her to always pronounce the names of composers in danish, for some reason, so she says:
Chopin = Sho-Ping (that one always makes me laugh)
Bach = Back
