About

Sergey Prokofiev’s final years were clouded by ill-health, and the Seventh Symphony was his last significant work, full of poignant nostalgia and restrained but deeply expressed emotion. The Love for Three Oranges consolidated Prokofiev’s reputation in the West in the 1920s, both this and the satirical tale of Lieutenant Kijé producing two of his most popular suites. This is the final volume of the acclaimed cycle of Prokofiev’s Symphonies with the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marin Alsop.

Awards and reviews

January 2018

Alsop and her production team engineer an interesting focus on countermelodies – the effect is otherwise pleasantly recessed rather than immediate…In the main work Alsop is always musical but you may crave a fuller, more assertive take on the composer.

December 2017

As it is, the CD is certainly recommendable for anyone collecting Alsop’s Prokofiev series and for those wanting this particular programme. Alsop clearly has an affinity for Prokofiev and a wonderful orchestra at her command. Richard Whitehouse contributes his usual informative notes as well.
