Description:

The first volume of Inkinen's complete Prokofiev symphonies! Inkinen has been entrusted with a new production of "The Ring" for the 2020 Bayreuth Festival, and the world is expecting great things from him. This is the first volume of his new project, the complete Prokofiev symphonies. The symphonies are a combination of the masterpiece No. 3, written in exile and based on the theme from the opera "The Angel of Fire," and the rather difficult No. 6, which is still in the shadow of the Second World War. The performance was a masterful demonstration of Inkinen's ability to control every detail of Prokofiev's dynamic orchestration, while at the same time maximizing the sound. I look forward to hearing more of his work in the future. Naxos Japan
