Alexander Toradze plays Prokofiev Piano Sonata no. 7 finale - video

[@renoraider9817]

When I was attending U of Miami Fla in '77 I had the opportunity to attend a recital of his on campus. He performed this sonata and at the end the auditorium exploded. It was amazing. He looks like he could pound nails in with those hands.

This is a stupendous performance. He has subtleties in it that no one else has even thought of. small crescendos and stuff. Unbelievable!

[@damongatewood795]

I like the steadiness of the tempo with the appropriate accents. This really helps complement the "troop marching" affekt of the first movement.

[@pianomarius]

absolutely amazing, since i heard his recording of shostakovichs piano concerti i have nothing but admiration for this great musician.

+pianomarius have a listen to his incredible performance (video) of Prokofiev's PC 3 from a few days ago (starts at 15 minutes) - meloman.ru/concert/125-let-so-dnya-rozhdeniya-sergeya-prokofeva-23-04-2016/#webcast

The look on the violinist's face as Alex takes a bow says it all

[@ionbaciu224]

He plays like a jazz pianist. That's why it's good!

[@MichaelLu]

Precisely!

[@marikhutsishvili2243]

To me this is real Prokofiev. I adore Toradze's performance but I love Martha's interpretation. Argerich touched me personally. But still I adore Toradze's vision.

[@rravvia]

Finally someone playing this at a good tempo!!! People RUIN this all the time.

[@sundancer7381]

Great, now we know you can play every note, let's add some pedal

[@meloncollector6662]

Why add pedal? All the nuances would be lost.

[@m.l.pianist2370]

This isn't Chopin, the dryness fits the music.

Тяжело и Однообразно!

[@alexanderguglielmetti6813]

What a mess, especially at the end
