Alexander Nevsky

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Claudine Carlson & Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra & Saint Louis Symphony Chorus & Leonard Slatkin

Alexander Nevsky is a cantata by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, arranged from his film score and first performed in 1939. The work combines robust choral writing with vivid orchestral colours and programmatic narration to depict medieval Russian history, and it is an example of Prokofiev's late 1930s film-to-concert adaptations and his vocal-orchestral output.
