CD Reviews

Jarvi plays Prokofiev in his best
CAHANA JOEL | Haifa , Israel | 12/05/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is a remarkable example how Prokofiev should be played. Jarvi put his best resources and make this CD a real pleasure. The Waltz Suite and the Pushkiniana are full of heart catching music and your legs wish to follow the music and start dancing. Cynderella Suite makes the best of the ballet and allows us to enjoy the best highlights. Great preformance of RSNO and Jarvi coupled with wonderfull sound for bargain-price. Most recommanded!"
An absolute delight!!!

"So much of Prokofiev is neglected. Although he is known for his more brash or playful features, he was a master at writing the elegant and bitter-sweet waltz. The waltz at the ball from War & Peace (track 5 on this disc) is simply wonderful (particularly in the inner string writing) and one of my absolutely favourite 20th century waltzes.



So all the waltzes on this disc are wonderful, and very well performed and recorded here.



Although I am a MEGA-fan of Shostakovich, both major and minor works, and his waltzes are great too, I would say that the Prokofiev ones here are often more profound in emotion.



Anyway, a super collection of superb waltzes!"
