About "Lieutenant Kijé, Symphonic Suite, Op. 60 : Prokofiev: Lieutenant Kijé, Symphonic Suite, Op. 60: IV. Troïka" by Andreas Schmidt

Prokofiev's Troïka from Lieutenant Kijé is a snow-dusted sleigh ride through imperial absurdity. Schmidt conducts with crisp irony: bells jingle, strings gallop, and a lone cornet sings of frozen distances. The jaunty surface barely conceals a bureaucratic chill, motion without destination.
