Alexander Nevsky
Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Lili Chookasian & Westminster Choir & Warren Martin & New York Philharmonic & Thomas Schippers
Alexander Nevsky is a cantata by Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев, adapted from his 1938 film score and first performed in 1939. The work pairs vigorous orchestral writing and massed chorus with folk-inspired melodies and martial rhythms, exemplifying Prokofiev's shift toward a more nationally oriented style and his engagement with film-derived concert repertoire.
First released: 1962
