Alexander Nevsky

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Fritz Reiner & Rosalind Elias

Alexander Nevsky is a cantata by Sergei Prokofiev, adapted from his 1938 film score and first arranged for concert performance in 1939. The work combines large-scale chorus and symphony orchestra with vivid, rhythmic motifs and bold orchestration, reflecting Prokofiev's engagement with historical subject matter and marking a notable moment in his mid-career shift toward expansive vocal-orchestral writing.
First released: 2016
