Customer Reviews:

Excellent.......2004-08-01

This CD has one of my favorite Prokofiev's pieces, the "Montagues and Capulets". I just love the perfect balance of timing and volume at the beginning, it gives me goose bumps. The creschendo is awesome. Most other conductors dont seem to get this as "right" as this one. But that could be because he's the first I heard.

The conductor, Gerard Schwarz, does not seem as famous as say Bernstein or some other big shots, but often times I find myself hearing a piece for the first time on the radio and liking it, and it turns out he's the conductor. It seems to me that he's
a bit underrated.

I almost gave 5 starts, but had to give 4 because the rest of the CD is not as thrilling as the one piece I mentionned earlier. A DDD recording, for those who care about that.
