Prokofiev / Sao Paulo Symphony / Alsop- Complete Symphonies
Sergey Prokofiev's seven symphonies are acknowledged as one of the major cycles of the 20th century, and these recordings with Marin Alsop and the Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra have received widespread critical acclaim. From the crisp vitality of the youthful 'Classical' Symphony to the viscerally exciting Third, the Fifth Symphony which for Prokofiev represented 'the grandeur of the human spirit' and the deeply moving and heartfelt Sixth Symphony, this is an unforgettable collection crowned by the bittersweet Seventh Symphony, the composer's final significant work.
