Free Music Notes for Sergei Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky
Free Music Review: Powerful. Russian music at its best.
Hit: 5 Stars
For lovers of Russian music, this CD of the complete Alexander Nevsky as written for the film is a must. The recording by RCA is of demonstration quality and the performance is first rate. Follow this with the video release of the film with this performance in the soundtrack, as was originally done.Free Music Review: this was my first real meeting with this kind of music
Hit: 5 Stars
this was my first meeting with this kind of music. The film as well as the music i know well and are my absolute favorites. The ambiance is supposed to be somewhat medieval. The film and this music show this ambiance. Strangely it does not look out of date at all. On the contrary. Terrific!Free Music Review: excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
this is the absolute original recording of Alexander Nevsky. the CD is cool because it gives you some CD-ROM abilities. and while there isnt much to see on the CD ROM, it is a great recording, the original soundtrack to the movie. Great stuff!Free Music Review: Powerful Alexander Nevsky
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording is a super work of art! If you could somehow dub this music onto the original movie by Sergei Eisenstein - that would be perfect! This is a MUST BUY for those who love this work by Prokofiev.Free Music Review: Fun
Hit: 4 Stars
This is one of, if the not the greatest, film score ever written. This CD presents a reconstruction of Prokofiev's original score for the famous Eisenstein film. In the film, the music accentuates beautifully many of the striking scenes presented by Eisenstein's team. Markedly nationalistic, Germanophobic, and anti-clerical, Alexander Nevsky is both a typical product of the that period of Soviet history and a real artistic achievement. This is not, however, some of Prokofiev's best music. While it is very good, much of Alexander Nevsky music is exactly that, good but not great. This must have been a deliberate choice on Prokofiev's part; really great music might have overpowered the scences in the movie. As suggested by several prior reviewers, the best way to hear this music would be in conjunction with the film.
