About This Song
About "Prokofiev: Cinderella, Op. 87, Act 1: No. 5, The Fairy Godmother" by André Previn
Prokofiev paints the Fairy Godmother with a shimmering, harp-flecked glow, but Previn reveals the eerie magic beneath—a benevolence that feels almost too powerful. The music hovers between wonder and a faint, otherworldly chill, like a wish granted by something not quite human.
