Description
|
|
|
|
Along with The Year 1941, a three-movement work written in response to the German invasion of the Soviet Union ("In the Struggle," "In the Night," and "For the Brotherhood of Man"), Alsop and her South American players turn in a suitably powerful version of his "symphony of the grandeur of the human spirit." "Alsop, now in her mid-fifties, is riding the crest of a wave. This new release should lift her even higher, as well as win new friends for the São Paulo orchestra, a first-class ensemble…. Even if you already have several Prokofiev Fifths, you need to make room for this one."—International Record Review "This album, promised as the first in a new symphonic cycle, certainly starts with a bang…. The Fifth Symphony comes up trumps in a dramatic yet highly polished performance…. An outstanding achievement."—BBC Music
