Title: Not Prokofiev's best but good
Product review: The first symphony is very Tchaikovsky-like and not representative of Prokofiev's own voice. It's immature with very little development. It is very popular and a bit fun.The fifth is a mixed bag. I love the second and fourth movements with their Prokofiev sounds and rhythms. The third is good too but sometimes veers into stridency. The first sounds like a Straussian tone poem. It's joyful with a hint of anxiety. The unrelenting tone poem stridency gets on my nerves.The sound of the first symphony is somewhat tinny early digital.
