Gürzenich-Orchester Köln, Dmitrij Kitajenko
Prokofiev enjoyed relative freedom in the symphonic medium. Symphonies allowed him to create dancing rhythms that need not be strictly danceable, as well as singing melodies beyond the limitations of human vocal chords. He worked on symphonies - apart from earlier, unrealized student works - from 1916 until 1952, the year before his death.
A complete set of Prokofiev's symphonies provides a satisfyingly all-encompassing look at the composer's creativity throughout the years of his mastery.
Many critics in the 2000s agreed that Dmitri Kitajenko's Prokofieff cycle is one of the best recordings of Prokofieff's symphonies everKitajenko formed the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne into an outstanding orchestra with "genuinely Russian" sounding winds and fascinating dynamics
