"The Utah forces are superb in every way, with magnificent sound and solid contributions from the choruses. These scores are deserving of such sonic splendor, and one senses the enthusiasm among all involved. But the interpretations lack nothing either, and though I will probably hang on to my previous favorites, Ormandy for Lieutenant Kije, and the uniquely unusual Reiner Nevsky (in English at that), I have a feeling that a hankering for this music will inevitably lead to me pulling this one off the shelves".

"This is a highly enjoyable disc. The quality of the performances is very good indeed and the recording - by Soundmirror - is terrific. I mentioned three other recordings of Alexander Nevsky earlier in this review. I won't be parted from any of them but I'm very happy to give this newcomer a place next to them on my shelves".

"Nevsky is given a sober reading here ... From its plaintive opening trumpet call, the playing of the Utah Symphony is much more sprightly in a fine account of the Lieutenant Kijé Suite. Fischer draws out Prokofiev's puckish humour well, high woodwinds in jocular mood. There's a jaunty step to 'Kijé's Wedding' and the 'Troika' clips along at a good pace".
