Sergei Prokofiev - Symphony No. 7 Lieutenant Kije Sui

Facts PROKOFIEV, S.: Symphony No. 7 / Lieutenant Kijé Suite / The Love for Three Oranges (excerpts) (São Paulo Symphony) - Sergey Prokofiev's final years were clouded by ill-health, and the Seventh Symphony was his last significant work, full of poignant nostalgia and restrained but deeply expressed emotion. The Love for Three Oranges consolidated Prokofiev's reputation in the West in the 1920s, both this and the satirical tale of Lieutenant Kijé producing two of his most popular suites. This is the final volume of the acclaimed cycle of Prokofiev's Symphonies with the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marin Alsop.
