"The score is crisply punctuated, still recognisably Prokoviev, but he rounds off the rough edges, stressing Ravellian colour and the influence of Rimsky-Korsakov. The balance between pit and stage was faultless, allowing singers to present often thankless vocal lines with ease." Financial Times

Orchestre et Choeurs de l’Opéra National de Paris, Sylvain Cambreling

Opéra National de Paris, 2005

“[This production is] spectacular and expensive- looking, glossy and glacial……. American Charles Workman's Pierrot Prince is a triumph of diction and style [and] it is good to hear Sylvain Cambreling balancing exuberance (the famous March) with the diaphanous subtlety of a marvellous score heavily influenced by Rimsky- Korsakov.” The Financial Times
