Four Orchestral Works
He had his ups and downs, musically and politically, but Prokofiev made a (mostly) positive mark on the music of the 20th century. This volume from Dover Publications, reprinted from various Soviet publishing houses, offers four of his most popular works:Peter and the Wolf, theLieutenant Kije Suite(with rarely-if-ever-heard vocal parts), theClassical Symphony, and the cantataAlexander Nevsky. Although the markings and, inPeter, the narration are given in Russian and English, the vocal lines are in Cyrillic only.  This is a bargain for students of Prokofiev.
