"Freilich interpretiert sie Slobodeniouk eher temperiert; er mildert die Extreme der Partitur zu einer gefälligen Mitte hin ab, die den melodisch-orchestralen Qualitäten der Partitur entgegenkommt und die das Orchester, wenn nicht glanzvoll, so doch durchaus überzeugend bewältigt ... Sie schliesst mit einem 'Hochzeitstanz', der mit seiner anrührenden Naivität geradezu verzaubert".

"The Gambler Suite ... is typical Prokofiev cut-and-paste, but there's great lyric warmth in the way Dima Slobodeniouk and his Lahti players handle the opening theme and the pathos of Babulenka, the capricious old lady who loses everything at the gambling table ... A little more thrust wouldn't have gone amiss, but textures remain clear and phrases always shapely ... The early tone-poem Autumn one can take or leave; The near contemporary Dream is better ... Again, this team makes the melodies as interesting as it can. Demonstration-quality sound is a good companion throughout".

"[Slobodeniouk] has a distinctive way with the composer, prizing lucidity over clamour. In the 'Four Portraits and a Dénouement' from The Gambler, his refined approach is refreshing".
