"Rattle's...is a pretty stunning Scythian Suite, combining foundation-threatening pagan spectacle and heart-stopping beauty in ideal equilibrium. A terrific display, excitingly engineered"
(Gramophone on the Synthian Suite)

"Rattle's...is a pretty stunning Scythian Suite, combining foundation-threatening pagan spectacle and heart-stopping beauty in ideal equilibrium. Prokofiev's luminous textures glow as never before in the radiant second half of the opening ''Adoration of Veles and Ala'', whilst the outer portions of ''Night'' have all the poetry and mystery one could wish for; I revelled, too, in Rattle's tremendously athletic presentation of the second tableau (where the CBSO's virtuosity is truly riveting)...A terrific display, excitingly engineered"
(Gramophone on the Synthian Suite)
