Whether you prefer the fabulous bass dynamics and savage paganism of the Scythian Suite, the colorful and captivating sound-portrait of the fairy tale Love for Three Oranges Suite, conductor Antal Dorati's super-charged readings of these scores are unsurpassed. Acclaimed by critics and audiophiles alike as among the very best of the best Mercury's, this dramatic and riveting combination of Prokofiev, Dorati and Mercury Living Presence is a sure winner.
