James, It's a nice chamber performance, something I hadn't heard any others by Prokofieff. Side 1 is all quintet: clarinet, oboe & strings. Side2 is piano/clarinet(common in Jewish folk music--Klezmer, etc) and violin on track1, followed by a piece for string quartet, woodwinds & french horn. While it's up & down on pace, most of this is minor key, moody stuff; some of it reminds me of the Borodin/ Shostakovich String Quartet LP that gets many raves. 

Unfortunately, my pressing is a bit noisy and having plenty of quiet passages, I was wishing for a better copy.
