Hi tornado,

Wow!!! First, who doesn't love Prokofiev's 7th Sonata?! Most people think of Prokofiev as a great composer, but few know that he was also a piano virtuoso's virtuoso. Perhaps except for Rachmaninoff and Hofmann, he could push anyone off the piano bench (sometimes literally

) and play circles around them. You accepted his challenge and play this third movement with energy, drive, vibrancy, verve, expressiveness and virtuosity. Simply put, this recording is a tour-de-force. I hope many will listen to it.
