War and Peace

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev

War and Peace is an opera by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev, first staged in 1946. The work combines lyrical vocal writing, expansive choral and orchestral forces and moments of stark modernist harmony to dramatise Tolstoy's novel, and it stands as one of Prokofiev's large-scale wartime projects that blends his modernist idiom with traditional Russian operatic and choral elements.
First released: 1993
