It's a good set. 4 May 2009
By John Allie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This set is a good introduction to Prokofiev, containing some of his most famous works. My one complaint is that the Romeo and Juliet suites are only excerpted here, rather than presented in their entirety. Other than that this is an excellent set, with good selections, strong performances and perfect sound quality.

Not Bad, But Better Performances Await Elsewhere 22 May 2012
By John K. Casey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are interested in sampling a diversified collection of the oeuvre of Serge Prokofiev, this collection will serve your purpose quite well, and at a bargain price. The conductors and orchestras involved are all of the first rank, and the sound quality is universally good. Having said that, each of the selections on these discs are better performed by other conductors. I find Sir Neville Marriner's offerings to be ponderous and fussy. He does not capture the crackle and the élan that makes Prokofiev's music so invigorating and special. His "Lieutenant Kije," which opens with the oddest sounding trumpet call I have ever encountered in this piece, is particularly sodden, more like a gentlemanly reading of Delius on a summer afternoon than the wickedly ironic parody that Prokofiev intends. Go for the Szell/Cleveland or the Reiner/Chicago performances for this one. The "Classical Symphony" compares sadly to the recordings by Solti and Muti, among others, not to mention Toscanini, whose rendition is unmatched, even with dated sound. Edo de Waart does a much more satisfactory job delivering up a decent suite from the ballet "Romeo and Juliet," catching both the lyricism and the power. Still, he is no match for Maazel/Cleveland or Gergiev/St. Petersburg. The winner on this CD is Previn's interpretation of the "Scythian Suite." He is the only one of the four conductors in this collection with the real knack for conducting Prokofiev, replete with steely brass, sinister, haunting woodwinds, savage percussion and upper strings that will chop your head off. The vintage Dorati/Minneapolis recording is still the one to beat for this piece, but Previn comes a lot closer to hitting the mark than his three diskmates on this collection.
