Rafael de Acha reviews the Utah Symphony and Thierry Fischer’s Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky – Lieutenant Kijé Suite recording:

“Augmenting its chorus by the addition of two fine choral ensembles from the University of Utah, the orchestra, led by Thierry Fischer delivers a powerful performance of two Prokofiev compositions originally created for the screen. The score of Alexander Nevsky… gets an enthralling performance by Maestro Thierry and his forces, with the exceptional mezzo-soprano Alisa Kolosova contributing her glistening sound and idiomatic handling of the Russian text. … Lieutenant Kijé provides a total contrast… and Soundmirror‘s excellent engineering enhances the hybrid super audio sound of the neatly packaged album.”

—Rafael de Acha, **** Outstanding
