Gergiev is the only one capable of directing this piece. My point of view. Russian directors, composers, conductors, ballet dancers, cinematographers, opera singers are truly the best, too bad the Americans have a hard time acknowledging their cultural forces. Shame on TH-cam to put an add in the middle of such a masterpiece.
Since @2:43 this motif is beautiful, but when @3:07 choirs starts singing - it is outworldy. I imagine the chaotic chase of Russian forces by Kinghts of Teutonic Order and Brothers of the Sword - all seems lost. But when motif in @4:15 - there is a spark of hope. This is a motif for hero and for Alexander Nevsky who is joining a battle. It is noble and right in time. And then - the battle continues.
1:51 is Russian "Jaws"! Seriously, a fantastic performance. Due to a broken hand, I missed a chance to play under Gergiev when the Kirov ballet came to Cleveland 22 years ago. My colleagues raved about him.
Это замечательная композиция. Мне очень жаль, что эти "сверхобразованные европейцы" готовы тысячу раз сыграть "Нибелунги", а вот "Ледовое Побоище" остается в тени. Хотела бы услышать более качественную запись этой композиции, и чтобы Прокофьев, этот гениальный композитор наконец-то получил заслуженное место в мире музыки.
Yes, she is crying here about Russian warriors killed in the battle with Crusaders and says she won't get married with the most handsome but with the bravest of them.
As soon as sis came strutting to the front I knew she was gonna pop off. Like, yes sis we support you and your pipes, sing it ma'am, go off hunty we love you
Yes, I know that Prokofiev is Russian! I forget that he was in exile, but I have known and loved "Alexander Nevsky" since 1965. I am old! Also, I love Eisentein's other movies and Prokofiev's music, such as "Battleship Potemkin" and "Ivan the Terrible". However, the video is ahead of the sound by about 1 second. Can you not see that? It's still a GREAT live performance. Thanks so much! :)
@Даша Даша Отец - Сергей Алексеевич Прокофьев - русский. Мать - Мария Григорьевна (урождённая Житкова) - русская. Сын - Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев (композитор) почему-то украинец???
You do know that Prokofiev is Russian? And that he was in exile in 1923-1936 in US and France and returned to Soviet Russia because nobody in the West cared for his music? And that ALL his masterpieces are written in Russia?
... and one of his wifes was Spanish... and she was held in a Gulag "labor camp" charged as a "spy" and "traitor" (as usual in these times) ? Yes, we also know...
As if he had so many wives... He left Lina, his Spanish, first wife around 1947(See Simon Morrison: Life and wars of Lina Prokofiev) to mary Mira Mendelson.

Really nice performance! It's nice to know that Prokofiev is honored in Russia as much as he is in the west. Unfortunately, the sound and video are out of sync. Terrific management of the accelerando around 3:40 or so.
I think I'm just to go back to CDs because the streaming services play classical that sounds tinny and cheap, and TH-cam is relentless--utterly relentless, like mosquitos--with their advertisements. Not at all how classical music should be listened to. They invent this technology, and then they ruin it. Bye-Bye. I'm getting a new CD player or--better yet--a new turntable. TH-cam is shit.

This is such a fantastic performance. The name of everyone on that stage should be here!
Wow! A truly stirring performance! Prokofiev would be proud.
So beautiful.
Гергиев умело создаёт настроение и соответствующее состояние. Один из немногих дирижёров , способный выразить максимально в звуке оркестра. Браво!
разве этим занимается не тот, кто оркеструет произведение?
@@thisIsVasilius разумеется и он тоже. Но задача дирижера выявить все богатство оркестровой ткани , тембровое разнообразие заложенное в сочинении.
One of the best conductors.....shame on you Germans...........lasst die politik aus dem Spiel....

Он её уже несомненно занял
Very moving rendition of the mezzo solo. If I'd been at the concert, I'd have cried, and I wager many people there would have done so also.
i would have stood up and motivated my people to fight like hell in the last battle, the mother of all battles.....

Gloriosa composicion,son dignos de admiracion por el pueblo ruso,se lo ganan con creces.
That piece is so badass.

Why should he be honored less at home than in the West?!
Madonnina bella.
Almost kidding but watch the throne's "HAM" got me here !

Gergiev loves Mahler, we love Russia. Prokofiev..inmmortal
