I have developed an unhealthy(?) obsession with Prokofiev's "Suggestion Diabolique". I became mesmerized after hearing Richter's 1961 live Paris recording and have trawled the internet for every recording i could find.
I now have a small collection of performances including Kissin (live), Moiseiwitsch, Prokofiev, Berman, Sviridov and Gavrilov. Two of the most impressive IMO being a studio recording by Chiu and one which i may possibly have miscredited to Marshev.
The best version i have
EVER heard has eluded all my attempts to identify. For my money it is the most thrilling rendition, played with speed, intensity and drama but always with total poise (so many players go off the rails with this one!).
Given the demands of the piece, this is clearly someone with an awesome technique, all the more astonishing being that it's taken from a live performance. Could anyone please tell me who the pianist is and put me out of my misery? It's well worth the download. Many thanks and i'll look forward to your comments.
