Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has unearthed another rare jewel from the illustrious Vox catalog, and is proud to announce the release of Prokofiev's Ivan The Terrible on its heralded Ultradisc UHR™ SACD multichannel series. Too few realize that Sergei Prokofiev was among the most important composers to ever bridge the distance between classical and film music. This particular score from the acclaimed Eisenstein film is intense and terrifying yet hauntingly beautiful.
