Richard Pennycuick, some days ago, in praise of Prokofiev:  Cantata for the
20th Anniversary of the October Revolution.

Not so.  I have a disk of a performance of this work by BBC Symphony
Orchestra and Chorus, conducted (I think, the label is a bit ambiguous) by
Geoffrey Mitchell.  The disk was one of those "free" CDs supplied with the
BBC Music Magazine.  I know nothing of the availability of these disks, I
have only a couple of dozen.  We had a disagreement about payment for a
subscription.
