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 ;D) 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.
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.
