Prokofiev’s cantata is a scream， literally. Obviously no one cares about the occasion for which it was written--and， in fact， the music proved so complicated that it wasn’t performed until 1966， 13 years after the composer’s death. Scored for huge orchestra， choruses， a folk band of manic accordion players， extra brass， and the shouting-amplified ?voice of Lenin? (here intoned with impressive volume by conductor Gennadi Rozhdestvensky)， the piece makes the most ear-splitting din imaginable. It’s very hard to tell whether Prokofiev was serious or not， but the fact remains that it’s a riot to listen to now--a period piece in the best sense. This performance wrings every last decibel out of the composition， and you’d be crazy to ask for more! --David Hurwitz
