An eye-opening Prokofiev survey (try to buy it used).......2006-03-26
I can't see paying full price for a two-CD compensdium, even one as lavish as this package, when all the itmes are samples for promoting Universal's catalog (expect a good representation by Ashkenazy, Rostropovich, Previn, and Gergiev). But the selection is good enough and often rare eough to warrant a buy if the price is low.
As I listened straight through, I was surprised at how unacquainted I actually was with the wide extent of Prokofiev's style. From the very early "Dreams," which could be mistaken for Glazunov through the unfamiliar operas (Betrothal in a Monastery Garden, Semyon Kotko) to the final, sadly diminished works like the Seventh Sym. and the cello concerto, the composer covered every major Russian style of the century. I didn't find any new masterful performances--not that a short excerpt is a good enough trial--but everything here is well performced. Any listener should find something unexpected and intriguing in this two-and-a-half-hour traversal.

Prokofiev is at His Best in SEMYON KOTKO!.......2004-08-19
With ON THE DNIEPR,op.51 and ANDANTE for String Orchestra,Op.50bis, the SEMYON KOTKO Suite for Orchestra,Op.81bis is one of Prokofiev's most underappreaciated compositions. Containing some of the best music the composer wrote--and coupled here with the May 18th, 1963 recording of SYMPHONY No.5,Op.100, the SUITE is expertly conducted by the great Prokofiev champion Gennady Rozhdestvensky in a 1985 Soviet Melodiya recording.
