Query: OK for their time, but superceded by better recordings since.

There weren't many non-Russian recordings of these symphonies when this set was recorded (late 60's early 70's I believe). The second symphony is a tough listen, and the rather harsh sound here makes it tougher. The third was music rearrangedfrom another project and sounds it. The 6th symphony, in my estimation, should rank up with the much more performed and recorded 5th, and the Chout suite is typical Prokofiev. Gergiev, Rostropovich and Rozhdestvensky all do better performances in better sound, and aren't that much more expensive than these. I have to give Martinon kudos for being among the first to record some of these works though.
