About

Ivan the Terrible – the second joint project of Sergei Eisenstein and Sergei Prokofiev – is, much like Alexander Newski, a historical epic, portraying the rise and fall of the autocratic ruler Ivan IV in the 16th century. Sergei Prokofiev’s musical portrayal is unique in film history, for the score conceives both parts of the film on an epic scale. Prokofiev’s rich melodic invention thrives on the expressive sound palette of his native Russia, mostly as they echo the spiritual works of the Russian-orthodox liturgy.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

June 2018

Sonically speaking this Berlin-made production is certainly up to the job and its conductor has a whole series of comparable restorations under his belt…Prudenskaya, fresh from her Royal Opera House debut as Azucena (Il trovatore), has a deep-pile, obviously Slav instrument. Like the more familiar Muscovite bass, Alexander Vinogradov, she seems perfect casting. Only the instrumentals lack a certain Soviet heft.
