Soundtrack

Ivan The Terrible score is the best ever made for a movie. I have owned the soundtrack for 35 years and never get sick & tired of hearing it. It is a all out assault on the senses. The one I am referring to is:

Prokofiev: Ivan The Terrible - oratorio - a two lp set on Melodya/Angel records.
conducted by Abram Stasevich

The Moscow State Chorus cannot be equalled in the world. The narrator sounds just like Nicolai Cherkasov. You don't need to understand russian language.

It is loaded with folk type music that is mesmerizing in its complexity and simplicity. The fact they could create something this great and very few people being aware of it, is a testament to the awesome propaganda by our media.

Buy it, use it and enjoy it. You'll be glad you did.
