"A very full disc ... when it comes to Prokofiev’s Sixth, Oramo’s version should be a top contender ... excellent recorded sound contribute to making this an attractive and recommended addition to the Prokofiev discography."
- Fanfare
"... couples Prokofiev’s two greatest symphonies ... bound to assume a strong position in the catalogue. With good sound and excellent orchestral playing this recording ticks all the right boxes ... powerful feelings are conveyed in this excellent recording."
- MusicWeb International
"Five Stars ... (the Sixth Symphony is) given one of the most effective and powerful interpretations since that of its original performers ... aided by a clean and unfussy recorded acoustic, Oramo and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra bring out the work’s remarkable colours and character."
- BBC Music Magazine
The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra presents these two contrasting Prokofiev symphonies under the baton of Sakari Oramo. The Fifth was written amidst the chaos of the Second World War and seeks to find positive solution to that chaos; but in the Sixth, completed soon after the war, the mood is darker. Both symphones feature Prokofiev's melodic writing at its best.
