I have a recording of this very piece by him as a young god. It is quicker!

Sep 19, 2009 - Comments so far at least the performance is not bad.Different interpretation from different conductor matters
NiniClarineta Says:
Sep 16, 2009 - The truth is, dear jerendonb, Prokofiev is a russian name and written with Cyrilic alfabet. For this reason there are several ways to transliterate his name. The sound of the last letter is F in russian, for this reason you saw the form Prokofieff, but since the Germans were the first to transliterate his name the form was being Prokofiev, because in german this V has the sound of F. And the tradition remains.

Sep 16, 2009 - Very nice. Karajan is a Master with no doubt.But honestly i prefer the record by Seiji Ozawa with the Berlin Philharmonic.Greetings from Brazil
