Alexander Nevsky (Cantata) / Pushkiniana (Orchestral Suite)

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Irina Gelahova & Stanislavsky Chorus & Государственный симфонический оркестр «Новая Россия» & Dmitry Yablonsky

Alexander Nevsky is a cantata composed by Sergei Prokofiev in 1939, adapted from his score for Sergei Eisenstein's 1938 film of the same name. The work combines orchestral and choral forces to depict the 13th-century Russian prince's victory over the Teutonic Knights, blending traditional Russian motifs with Prokofiev's modernist style.
