Alexander Nevsky

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & London Symphony Chorus & London Symphony Orchestra & Anna Reynolds & André Previn

Alexander Nevsky is a cantata by Sergei Prokofiev, arranged in 1939 from his 1938 film score. The work blends cinematic orchestral writing with chorus and solo vocal passages rooted in Russian thematic material, featuring prominent brass, percussion and expansive choral textures, and it marks a key point in Prokofiev's output as he turned towards more direct, patriotic-inflected works in the late 1930s.
