Info zu Prokofiev: War And Peace
Chandos's laudable opportunism in digitising a complete recording from a sequence of Spoleto Festival performances has, for the most part, paid off. This is just as well as this must have been a major project; filling a gap in the otherwise plentiful Chandos Prokofiev catalogue.
"Its star is Richard Hickox, who conducts with unflagging energy and lyrical flow, guiding the soloists to pointed characterisation and building up the massed effects of the choral scenes." (Opera News, New York)
"Ekaterina Morozova is a moving Natasha. Slavonic in timbre, weighty but still girlsih enough, with an edge to the voice that rarely turns squally...Roderick Willians is a fresh, virile Andrei, and Justin Lavender a vulnerable-sounding Pierre...Other versions may have starrier individual contributions, but this one has no weak link."
