Our Take

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats, because we've got a real treat for you today. The latest collaboration between soprano Ewa Podles, conductor Jean-Claude Casadesus, and the Orchestra National de Lille brings us Prokofiev's epic cantata "Alexander Nevsky." And let me tell you, it's a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish.

From the haunting opening notes of "Russia Under the Mongolian Yoke" to the triumphant finale of "The Battle on the Ice," this album is a tour de force of musical storytelling. Podles' powerful vocals soar effortlessly over the lush orchestration, transporting us to medieval Russia and immersing us in the drama and the passion of the story.

Casadesus and the Orchestra National de Lille deserve major kudos for their impeccable performance, capturing every nuance and emotion of Prokofiev's score with precision and passion. The brass section in particular shines in the epic battle scenes, adding a thrilling intensity to the music.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for any classical music lover. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a newbie looking to dip your toes into the world of Russian classical music, "Alexander Nevsky" is sure to captivate and inspire. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of Podles, Casadesus, and Prokofiev.
