Title: Beware....
Review: Just as a warning, this is the best recording of these suites which makes them very, very, very loud. So, if when you take the CD out and put it in your stereo with the volume up high, don't come cryin' to me that your ears hurt. Just because they're loud doesn't make them good, but the extremely creative writing that Prokofiev has with the Muti-Philadelphia combo makes this the greatest recording. There is no doubt, no other brass section has the muscle to master Muti's ambition. These pieces showcase the trombones especially, and when you have Glenn Dodson, Joe Alessi, and Charlie Vernon, you know they will be heard. But never fear, they don't sound bad in any way shape or form, it's that this will probably be the loudest thing that you will ever hear. They and Muti bring out the Russian in Prokofiev and the tragicness in Shakespearre and you don't want to pass this up before there are no more copies of it.
