Title: not Prokofiev
Review: I am surprised and depressed to see so many ecstatic reviews of this bizarre performance. Although the recorded sound is excellent and the orchestral performance largely quite fine, Maazel's tempi border on madness. Prokofiev does not use metronome markings, but Maazel pushes the slower, more contemplative movements into barroom marches, and drags some faster pieces into mush. Comparison with Ozawa and Rozhdestvensky, who knew and worked with SP, will quickly show how truly and sadly off the mark this recording is.
