Prokofiev rules. Shostakovich...doesn't rule quite as much.

There are many who would disagree with that statement including the people who grew up during Soviet Russia.

I'm sorry but I'm afraid that without seeing some hundreds of soviet films in your childhood you can't understand how accurate it is. But there is nothing about value in it.

This one is an easy one.  Prokofiev is a great composer, who is always worth listening to--but Shostakovich is just as good, and also connects with me emotionally in a way that few other composers do.

I agree.
