프로코피에프 성악곡의 최초 전곡 컬렉션 음반. 그의 가곡들은 오페라에 비하여 대부분 소외되어 왔다. 본 앨범엔 거의 모든 그의 독창적 노력이 고스란히 담겨져 있는 72곡의 가곡이 수록돼 있는데 대부분 그의 영감 받은 창조성과 거장적 탁월성을 보여준다.


성악가들의 노래는 탁월하다. 특히 예브토디에바는 “미운 오리새끼”에서든 “5개의 무언가”에서든 아연실색케 할만큼 아주 절묘하다. 또한 알렉사 쉬킨 역시 화려한데 특히 “초록 항아리”에서 그러하다. 그에 못지 않게 피아니스트 세로프 역시 보통 반주자 이상의 역할을 담당하는데, 이 레코딩의 가곡 순서를 창의성과 논리성으로 정렬하고 있다. 또한 템포의 선택과 다른 요소를 통해 판단컨대 그는 이 앨범 전반을 통해 성악가들의 가곡 해석에 있어 강한 영향을 미치고 있다. 전곡 텍스트를 원어 러시아어와 영어로 수록한 내지 역시 귀중한 자료이다
