Description:

Sergey Prokofievâ??s spectacular music for Ivan the Terrible is arguably one of his finest film scores. This classic recording of the oratorio arranged by Abram Stasevich, conducted by Leonard Slatkin, is filled with Prokofievâ??s irrepressible energy and eloquent melodic power. Ivan, the first â??Tsar of all the Russias,â?? is portrayed in the film not as the bloodthirsty tyrant his nickname suggests, but as a sorrowful and lonely man, betrayed by his friends, deprived of love, and determined at all costs to preserve a unified Russia under constant attack from abroad and treasonous intrigues at home. -
