Very Short review... As good a performance as one could imagine of this powerful work. I own at least 12 different versions of Nevsky,but I feel this is about as good as it gets.It is truly a stunning recording and performance.Goose Bumps are included with this CD.
Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky / Abbado Poster
Alexander Nevsky is one of the great film scores, and a beautifully restored edition of the film with a new digitally recorded soundtrack, is now available. Eisenstein's movie was a landmark in the history of the cinema--something like half of it consists of nothing but the great "battle on the ice," and the helmets of the invading crusaders gave George Lucas some ideas for the Storm Trooper costumes in Star Wars. The cantata that Prokofiev fashioned from the complete score has all of the good tunes, but none of action-motivated repetition, and this is its best performance. Combined with the two suites, it makes a stunning Prokofiev disc. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
