For high-octane energy, sweeping melodies, and kaleidoscopic orchestral colors, the ballet selections and fiery symphony on this all-Prokofiev program has it all. To raise the excitement, the performers are Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, musicians who have a long and glorious history with this music. The Telegraphsaid of their live recording of the ballet selections, “the orchestra … plays with a radiant spectrum of color,” while the Chicago Sun-Times said “Muti’s concept of Prokofiev’s Third Symphony could not sound bigger, or more modern, or more thrilling.”
