Description:

[Encore Press: Mercury Living Presence 50] "Ara and Lolly" established a worldwide reputation as a standard-bearer of modernism through its intense barbarism. The suite "Love for Three Oranges" was woven from the opera. The Fifth, one of the most important symphonies of the 20th century, depicts the freedom and nobility of what was composed during World War II. Prokofiev's works are richly colored with music rooted in a folkloric sensibility. Dorati's unparalleled skill in orchestral leadership is on full display in this performance. Rubidium clock cutting. [Performed by] London Symphony Orchestra (1, 2), Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra (3), Conductor: Antal Dorati
