SERGEI PROKOFIEV - SCYTHIAN SUITE ALEXANDER NEVSKY - SCYTHIAN SUITE - LIEUTENANT KIJÉ - CLAUDIO ABBADO (Conductor) - ELENA OBRAZTSOVA (Mezzo) - LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - LONDON SYMPHONY CHORUS - CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA | DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON 447419

Three of Prokofiev's best works on the same disc and all done in tight, powerful, russian sounding performances, with Abbado having a firm grip on every aspect of these epic pieces, and the choir and orchestra jumping out at you from the speakers in bright and vivid sound.
