Reviews
Fanfare issue 40:4 (Mar/Apr 2017) (03/01/2017):
Prokofiev may not have produced many chamber works compared with Shostakovich, but those that feature woodwinds are piquant and delightful. more...
American Record Guide (11/02/2016):
Prokofieff wrote chamber music all through his career, though never much of it; and this illuminating album clearly shows his shifting styles. The program opens with Overture on Hebrew Themes, from the composer’s New York period. more...
www.klassik.com (10/15/2016):
Mit einer raffiniert zusammengestellten Werkauswahl führen die Ludwig Chamber Players und das SWR Swing Fagottett durch unterschiedliche Schaffensphasen Prokofjews. Die Interpretation zeugt von hoher musikalischer Ausdruckskraft und klanglicher Vielfalt.
--> zum Originalartikel. more... My Classical Notes (07/01/2016):
What emerges on this recording is this amazing grouping of Prokofiev’s chamber music output, together with a beautiful new instrumentation of the “Visions Fugitives” for 10 instruments.
We get to listen to pieces of great virtuosity and boldness on one side, contrasting with tender and melancholic moods on the other from a composer who was probably always caught between two stools and wasn’t entirely at home anywhere.

Niemanden wird es überraschen, dass sich „die Ludwig Chamber Players (LCP) … in kurzer Zeit als eines der führenden Kammerensembles auf den internationalen Konzertpodien etabliert“ haben: Diese biographische Binsenweisheit hätte mangetrost aus dem Beiheft hätte weglassen dürfen. more...

Grandiose Prokofiev-CD, musikalisch und klanglich
Wenn es darum geht, ein Kammermusikensemble von rund einem Dutzend Musikern so aufzunehmen und abzumischen, dass ein Ganzes entsteht, in dem man klar und deutlich und ohne jede klangliche Verfälschung jedes Instrument hört, ist Andreas Spreer von Tacet der richtige Mann. more...
www.pizzicato.lu (05/11/2016):
Here we have not only flawless, refined and inspired Prokofiev performances, we also can hear them in the most perfect sound.
