Who is the pianist? This is excellent.

I don't care what other people say. The first and second sonatas of Prokofiev are my favorite, because they sound just so amazing, I can't even explain it 😅The first sonata's first theme is just so addicting to me, and the second theme from the first movement of the second sonata is even more satisfying. Even if those are my favorite, I still like the later sonatas, like No.6 or 8.

0:24 wow, was a Sostenuto pedal used here?

The section starting at 1:12:48 is just incredible and I can hear the artillery falling. Thank you for this incredible upload!

❤❤❤❤❤

suprised that you used score by henle editions

00:00 7:56 26:32 35:02 49:00 52:43 1:09:33 1:36:55 1:54:58 2:23:57

this is a great interpration. much more free and improv like than others.

##10, 14 and 15 are unreal beauty. Thanks for the upload!

Takes less than half the time of the Postnikova recording

Thanks so much. I just played all these. I sight read. In front of my school. It was tricky at times 😂

12:58

Ill be having masterclass with maestro Raekallio next week. Im going to play Prokofiev 6th sonata, super excited for that!

By far the best recording of this piece. Thank you for uploading the score video ! 😁

Terrible recording

I'm not so much fan of Prokofiev, but I'm trying to be used to, and that first sonata was on another level! It was superb 😊

This is quite a shocking interpretation actually

Stunning technical prowess. However, it's too fast imo and the lines/musical effects suffer as a result. Of course, it's better to be able to play it too fast-playing it slower later is an easy adjustment.

Way better than other pianists

Brilliant! Rare! BRAVO, Maestro Yi-Chung.....from Mexico City!

who but Prokofiev could come up with a transcription of this calibre? these pieces are actually re-envisionings of the original orchestral work!

Maybe the best melody i' ve ever heard, especially after 3:32

The Visions Fugitives are completely enchanting. Richter performed some of the individual movements, and he could make you believe this was the greatest cycle of miniatures ever. But he never gave us the complete cycle. Raekallio plays up the fever-dream elements of this work and gives it a compelling mystery and irresolution. Sometimes I'd wish for a lighter touch, but the variety of sonic effects really works for the rhapsodic, conversational quality of the Visions Fugitives. No two notes are alike. I love it.

Merci, c'est sublime. ❤

Best intepretation I've heard

Best prokofiev channel :D

At the end of the last video I thought, "I wanna listen to some Prokofiev sonatas" and then your video shows up. Not all heroes wear capes.

30:18 perfectly done!

Se prokofiev avesse portato avanti lo stile della prima sonata sarebbe diventato lui il re e no rach

What is this wizardry

Musicalité, Rigueur, Humour et Poesie , un Régal Absolu, Merci 🙏🙏🙏

why sonata 5 original edition?

At 58:54 - 58:56 my brain says "Star Wars" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXWwgYeQbN5koqc

so much noise

When I first heard the recording of these works, played by a Russian pianist, I got the music and tried to play some of them. It was an uphill battle. All I can say is that I think this transcription is one the best I ever heard of his greatest work. It still deeply moves me. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

Great music!! Playing these for our veterans at the commemoration this week 😊😊

noise machine

Mr. Wilhelm Sir, is it true Sonata 1 has only one movement?

Prokofiev is definitely an acquired taste, and he really pushes the boundaries to atonal and nontraditional classical harmonies. It may take a few listenings of the same piece to get used to but once you do, you can find the beauty in even the ugliest sounds.

Great to have the scores for these impressive sonatas together in one video. The pianist is excellent!

13:42 - 14:57 *Warning: The C-double-sharp key is a theoretical major scale key.* This means: Its key signature would contain either double-sharps or double flats. It is rarely used in practice, because it is too complex to use. It is not on the Circle of fifths diagram, which contains the most commonly used keys. There is always an identical major scale that you can use in its place, which is on the Circle of 5ths. *The D major scale sounds the same / contains the same note pitches, which are played in the same order (the scales are enharmonic), so it can be used as a direct replacement for the C-double-sharp major scale.*

Merci d'avoir partagé cette oeuvre pianistique immense. Je frissonne à chaque fois que j'entends la sonate n3 et la n7 que j'ai jouée (enfin essayé de jouer 😢)

Your link to the score in the description is missing a ')' at the end!

1:16:18

This is my first time listening to these pieces. I love op. 82, allegretto.
