Cincinnati Symphony, Paavo Jarvi “I have always wanted to record Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5,” says Paavo Järvi. “I consider it one of the best symphonies of the 20th century. Symphony No. 5 is brilliant in its newness, language and construction. On the other hand, Lieutenant Kijé Suite shows the much lighter side of Prokofiev as he brings the character to life in a unique and almost comical way.” |

Cincinnati Symphony, Paavo Jarvi “Jarvi does an artful job of demarcating Perokofiev’s mood-swings … The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra plays with prodigious energy and diligence that has been immaculately captured.” Classic FM |

Russian National Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski “Taken at a hard lick, as it too often is, Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony can be seen as a coarse wartime brute.
Vladimir Jurowski, working with the superb Russian National Orchestra, knows better. He shapes with
thoughtfulness and feeling; speeds are controlled….A magnificent recording; and the neglected Ode to the End of
the War makes a tasty extra.” The Times, 11th December 2007 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
