Looking for recommended Prokofiev recordings

Ronseal.

Can be boxsets or preferably highly recommended single disc recordings of his symphonies.

These are recordings that hit the mark for me. I would also advocate for Neeme Jarvi's RSNO orchestral cycle on Chandos (it's very thorough and the textures are lighter than is often the case).

^^ it's just as well Darren is back in the fold... ;-)

Sorry Dave, I don't own a single Prokofiev recording I'm afraid...

I am very fond of this set:



and I love all of Andre Previn's Prokofiev work too.

I love that set.

Authentic Russian performances of the symphonies, conducted by Gennady Rozhdestvensky.



Hair-raising piano sonatas in excellent sound

[Ciaran]

An amazing record, with another Prokofiev Piano Sonata!

Cheap as chips and very good.

Cheap as chips and very good.

I have often wondered about that set, one can pick it up in Tower for next to nothing. I must get a copy of it so, thanks Ciaran

Two excellent Romeo and Juliet. I prefer the Rozhdestvensky.
