Look at what I listen to so that you don't have to....

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

OK, but maybe you should.

Because there are SO MANY Marin Alsop fans here, I just HAD to be first to here this one and report on it.

To be honest, I have heard Prokofiev's Symphony # 6 so few times, if at all, I would have not way to know what a GOOD or BAD performance of it might actually be. But should that stop a music lover from having an opinion?

No way!

For starters, a pretty good recording quality. NAXOS has done a good job recording the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra in the past, as has BIS in their Villa-Lobos seris with John Neschling, so that should be no surprise.

As for the overall performance? Again, it's music I am sad to say I am not familiar with but I do like me some Prokofiev so I would say it's worth a listen, Alsop and all.

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass

BTW, here's another one likely to be much better than the Alsop - Chris from Lafayette 07:53:39 08/14/16 (2)

Of course you're right - but it's something I'll leave to others (i.e., listening to Alsop's new release) [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 06:33:38 08/14/16 (0)
