Lina Prokofiev (narrator)

Scottish National Orchestra, Neeme Järvi

No Prokofiev recorded anthology would be complete without a performance of Peter and the Wolf, and here the narrator comes in the person of Lina Prokofiev, the composer’s widow. Recorded for Chandos when she was nearly ninety. The disc is completed with a number of shorter pieces, all associated with poetical works by Alexander Pushkin.

“warmly persuasive, bringing out the sensuousness… As in earlier records of the series, the playing is rich and brilliant” Gramophone Magazine

Sibelius:

Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43

Recorded 29th November, 1950 in Symphony Hall, Boston


Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky

This disc restores to the catalogue, after an absence of more than 50 years, Koussevitzky’s second recording of Peter and the Wolf, with Eleanor Roosevelt as narrator. Taped during his last recording sessions on 29th November, 1950, Koussevitzky’s performance of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 is given with an electricity that transcends studio conditions, yet it is not without light, shade and emotional retreat. The final such example of Koussevitzky’s art, which pertinently concludes this disc, is a rapt and expressive account of Grieg’s The Last Spring, notable for the warmth and intensity of the Boston strings.

“Koussevitzky’s is a red-blooded, wholly abandoned approach…. both warm and brilliant… a supreme conductor who has still not had his full due.” Gramophone

Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Claudio Abbado

A delightful DVD of Prokofiev’s universally beloved “musical tale“, brought to life by human actors in a fairytale world inhabited by Muppet-like puppets

“Despite its lively Spitting Image puppets, and Complicité actors, this often charming film can't quite match the genius of Suzy Templeton's darker animation (Arthaus). But Abbado's soundtrack is superb.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 ****
