Reference Recordings is proud to present the Utah Symphony conducted by Thierry Fischer, in grand new performances of Alexander Nevsky and the Lieutenant Kijé Suite, two of his most brilliant and dramatic musical works
The music of Lieutenant Kijé was originally written as the score to the film of the same name, released in March 1934
It was Prokofiev's first film music and his first commission
Prokofiev soon adapted it into the five-movement Lieutenant Kijé Suite, first performed in December 1934, and which quickly became a favorite in the international concert repertoire
Then, in 1938, Prokofiev collaborated with film director Eisenstein to create the score for the film Alexander Nevsky
He later adapted much of his score into the large-scale cantata for mezzo-soprano, orchestra and chorus featured on this recording
RECORDING November 18 - 19 2016 at Maurice Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah
