Ivan the Terrible, Concert Scenario

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Philharmonia Orchestra & Philharmonia Chorus & Neeme Järvi & Linda Finnie & Nikita Leonidovich Storojev

Ivan the Terrible: Concert Scenario is a 1991 orchestral work by Christopher Palmer, based on Sergei Prokofiev's original score for Sergei Eisenstein's 1944-1945 film 'Ivan the Terrible'. This adaptation distills Prokofiev's music into a cohesive concert piece, eliminating the need for a narrator and focusing on the orchestral and choral elements to convey the dramatic narrative.
