[musicy88]

@MilanPtheCharming i bet you have no idea or even seen this music score. lemme hear what you got

[MilanPtheCharming]

@musicy88 it would be awfully ridiculous and stupid of me to comment this if i haven't.

[MrGrigor99]

No. 3 is technically on a par with Feux Follets. Especially the way Kissin plays it.

[4thMG]

No.2 in e minor @ 2:09 is such a beautiful piece.

[hailkayy]

A wonderful pianist.

[ProkofievRules]

This is awesome, thanks! I'm not sure I get the whole "russian flag" thing, though.

[deviantrake]

You're welcome. The idea behind the flag was to identify the composer and his country, however after I did this I remembered that Prokofiev was a composer of the Soviet era, so on another video for I used the Soviet flag.

[ProkofievRules]

I was just wondering, mostly because of the soviet thing, but also because he was born and raised(until he was whisked off to St. Petersburg) in what is now Ukraine, just outside of Kyiv.

Whether he personally self-identified as Ukrainian, or Russian, I'm not sure. And it would be kinda hard to know that without knowing him personally.

But once again, you've uploaded a real gem.

[fuckslipknot21]

does he use some kind of pythagorean tuning?? because the sound is different than others that i've heard.

[gymgymgymgym]

what is pythagorean tuning?

[fuckslipknot21]

you know, there is not only the standard tuning of the piano, there are others as well. i can't really explain the differences to you, it is about hertz and stuff like that and im not familiar with them. well, search it on the net, im not a good source for you. but, compared to other interpretations, there is a slight difference in the sound, if you want my opinion.

[tedly10027]

i was lucky enough to have heard him play , live, rachmaninoff's paganini variations with orchestra long ago . he was incredible. HUGE sound and brilliance..with the singing lyric parts full-toned and luscious. he played it like it was a mere toy.

[hailkayy]

What a first etude !

[ssprokofiev]

Sandor was a brilliant pianist but somewhat underappreciated. He played a lot of Bartok, whom he knew, and a good deal of Prokofiev. His 6-LP set of Prokofiev piano music was billed as the complete solo music by Vox, but it didn't include the transcriptions and many other works. Still, it was a worthwhile set to obtain in the late-1960s. Many of his performances from the set can stand up against the best competition today.
