CD Reviews

Uninspired

Seigfrieds Hammer | Aurora, CO USA | 10/22/2003

(1 out of 5 stars)

"The National Symphony Orchestra - hacked their way through this one. A very dull performance. Save your money."

Unusually smooth, but ambient!

Jeremy Cohen | Montreal | 06/30/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a smooth and atmospheric recording; oddly missing is rugged and sharply edged Prokofiev, but still present is the dissonance and atonality. The sound quality and orchestral balancing are mysterious and nebulous, as if your listening to the music while surrounded by a cloud of spatial, swirling gasses. I love the playing and I love the sound, even if it isn't a typical interpretation."
