Prokofiev Piano Sonata No.8 - Third Movement (Vladimir Ashkenazy)

@tys9569: It'll come to you... Just because the language of Prokofiev is more complicated than that of Mozart or Bach doesn't mean that their ideas were more primitive. It'll come to you, really.

It's funny how many people would deem this piece of music "modern" or "avant-guarde". This is absolute an absolutely classical piece!!! If you like Bach or Mozart but don't like this, you must have a problem either with your ear or your brain

@LordN3mrod it's a lot more modern than bach or mozart...i like this but am not fond of either of them.

Amazing performance by one of the greats pianists of the modern era. All the Ashkenazy concerts I've been to have been exreaordinary and memorable. I love the three wartime sonatas of Prokofiev,. each so different and great in their own way. Thanks for uploading.

Beautifully written. Incredibly pianistic. Splendid interpretation. I saw him play this in Zurich and it was the best concert of my life!

How magnificent! How epic! It's like a whole Symphony for Solo Piano!

@Flutist11 All 3 war sonatas are among the deepest pieces of music I've ever heard.
