Reference Recordings is proud to present the Utah Symphony conducted by Thierry Fischer, in grand new performances of Alexander Nevsky and the Lieutenant Kijé Suite, two of Prokofiev’s most brilliant and dramatic musical works. The music of Lieutenant Kijé was originally written as the score to the film of the same name, released in March 1934. It was Prokofiev’s first film music and his first commission. Prokofiev soon adapted it into the five-movement Lieutenant Kijé Suite, first performed in December 1934, and which quickly became a favorite in the international concert repertoire. Then, in 1938, Prokofiev collaborated with film director Eisenstein to create the score for the film Alexander Nevsky. He later adapted much of his score into the large-scale cantata for mezzo-soprano, orchestra and chorus featured on this recording.

Recorded by a virtually unknown singer-songwriter who had once been rejected by every major label, and bolstered by production and arrangements that spotlight Travis’ impeccable vocals, Storms of Life spurred a stylistic sea change that would soon sweep Nashville and place the North Carolina native at the center of the neotraditionalist movement.

1/2” / 30 IPS / Dolby SR analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Few artists were more prolific than Carlos Santana during the 1970s and 80s. By the time he released Blues for Salvador, the fourth album billed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a lone solo artist, he kept a pace that saw him release LPs at a more than one record-per-year clip ever since the launch of his group’s 1969 debut. No wonder this 1987 effort would be Santana’s last work until 1990; he deserved the rest. And with the largely instrumental Blues for Salvador, he entered into the break on a high note — one that earned him his first Grammy Award.
