«Alexander Nevsky / Scythian Suite» is the album by Sergei Prokofiev, released in 1991 by Chandos, on CD.
The CD brings together two orchestral works by Sergei Prokofiev: the cantata Alexander Nevsky, Op. 78, inspired by the music he composed for Eisenstein's film, and the Scythian Suite, Op. 20, pagan and rhythmic in character. The performance is by the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and Choir, conducted by Dmitri Kitajenko, with mezzo-soprano Ludmila Schemtchuk as soloist.
Recorded in 1990 and released under catalogue number CHAN 9001, this single-disc CD contains both works.
For those who enjoy 20th-century Russian orchestral music and large forces with choir and soloist.
