Free Music Notes for Sergei Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky Album
Free Music Review: Good, but not the best Nevsky recording.
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is good, and if you want the multimedia, you won't find it on other recordings.Only one complaint, but it's major: The shrieking violins that are heard as the Germans ride across the frozen lake are treated as an accent to the bassoons and the rest of the orchestra. They are almost in the background.
They should be right out in front, good and loud, sending chills down your spine! This is the only recording of Nevsky I have heard treat it that way, and if you've grown up hearing it the "right" way, it's a bit anticlimactic.
If you put a good recording of this in, and drive on an uncrowded freeway, check your speedometer half-way through the ride across the lake. Mine's usually around 90!
