- [Actually, this is about the 4th symphony.]
-
- Concerning the MHS edition of Prokofiev symphonies (Martinon), it uses
- the original version of the 4th. I find this version way inferior to
- the later version. The 4th is one of my favorites, so the difference
- isn't trivial for me. Although I'm not much of an Ormandy fan, his
- recording of the 4th is nice, if you see it around. In any case, make
- sure you know which version of the symphony you're buying, and at least
- try out the later one.
