Symphony No. 5 in B flat major, Op. 100
01. I. Andante
02. II. Allegro marcato
03. III. Adagio
04. IV. Allegro giocoso

Scythian Suite, Op. 20
05. I. L’adoration de Veless et de Ala (Invocation to Veles and Ala)
06. II. Le dieu ennemi et la danse des esprits noirs (The Evil God and Dance of the Pagan Monster)
07. III. La nuit (Night)
08. IV. Le depart glorieux de Lolly et le cortege du Soleil (Lolly’s Pursuit of the Evil God and the Sunrise)

In many ways, it is typical Litton: wholesome and unguarded, often good fun and refreshing in repertoire that’s customarily loaded with innuendo. There’s great momentum and some nice colour from the Bergen orchestra, but whether the performance works for you will depend on just how pummelled you want to be by your wartime Prokofiev.
