The Fiery Angel

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Galina Gorchakova & Sergei Leiferkus & Хор Мариинского театра & Симфонический оркестр Мариинского театра & Valery Gergiev

The Fiery Angel is an opera by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev, completed in 1927. Combining late-Romantic and modernist elements with vivid orchestration, dissonant harmonies and intense vocal writing, it reflects Prokofiev's engagement with Russian symbolist literature and his exploration of large-scale operatic form during the 1920s.
