Prokofiev's finest symphony, tautly constructed, cogently argued but melodically rewarding.

We Say...
Neeme Jarvi's dynamic style of conducting is perfectly suited to Prokofiev's symphonic writing. The Sixth is arguably Prokofiev's finest symphony, tautly constructed, cogently argued but melodically rewarding, even if not in the opulent colours of the much-more-popular Fifth Symphony. This is steel to the Fifth's gold; it's a work that bears the scars of the Second World War (it was composed in 1947), and while the authorities may have been less than thrilled, it was a critical success. Jarvi draws playing of superior quality from his Scottish orchestra; indeed, it was always one of his skills as the RSNO's music director to make his ensemble play a class above its own (and the recording also shows these committed players in the best of all possible lights). The coupling is three pieces from the Waltz Suite, delightful recollections of his ballet Cinderella.
