In Reply to: Prokofiev Symphonies 3/4/6/7: Gaffigan or Litton? posted by jdaniel@jps.net on September 18, 2016 at 11:23:04:
in 24/96, and I like it as much as I like Ormandy's take on it. One of its other attractions is that it's paired with an excellent performance of Prokofiev's Seventh and allows you to choose which ending you want to hear--the original--which to me makes the most artistic sense--or the "affirmative" one Prokofiev pasted on (it's really a nod to an earlier theme) in a bid to snag the Stalin prize.
