CD Reviews

A Prokofiev Symphony # 1 to compete with Karajan/Berlin

Levinson Landsman Fan | Harrisburg Pennsylvania | 06/07/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is one of the very best Prokofiev Symphonies 1 and 5 CDs available. The wind sections sound really clear, with no senseless blunders, and also the percussion sounds picture perfect. Yes, Steve, I have to agree with you on the sound quality. The only comparison to this Symphony no. 1 reading is Karajan's(Sony DVD Telemondial). Leonard Bernstein and Eugene Ormandy are thoroughly pathetic in comparison with Gunzenhauser's or Karajan's reading of either one of those symphonies. There are other equally good readings besides those two, but go with this one."
