prokofiev has to be one of the most difficult composers to understand and play correctly- i saw this not for the complexity of rhythm, but heaviness and roundness of chords, and how difficult it must be to balance them- prokofiev recordings range from genius to disgusting; surely i'd never be able to master a serious peice of his piano literature

God, for me it's not about PLAYING one of these, it's WRITING one of them. I'm a composer myself, but listening to this stuff makes me want to just give up. Especially the Toccata, the interaction of each chord, the perfect placement of every last chromatic ascent, every randomly placed interval; all of it is just astounding. This guy was unbelievable.

eye for you sir! i too compose. prokofiev's concerto is rather poorly structured in my view, but the unique chords and theme make it hard to accept it as anything other than a masterpeice. still, as far as G Minor concertos go, I have a great liking for Rachmaninoff's fourth- another one of those hidden gems. though many would argue given rachmaninoff's fame its an accepted work, it is performed worldwide less than 20 times a year. thats a shame. prokofiev is stylistically sound though.

Nice poise and expression very rich Russian depth and profundity.
Everything feels exactly right.

Yeah. I agree. She still has set the bar. It's the best out of all the interpretations I've heard hear on Youtube. Berezovzsky was powerful but it was sloppy. I think Alexie Sultanov's wasn't so badly done either.

There was an LP of the Prokofiev 2nd made back in the 1960s. I don't have it now.
