Hi There!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did You heard Prokofiev Piano Concertos with Vladimir Krainev?!?! This is the best recording I ever heard!! ;) ;)Krainev plays with Frankfurt Radio Orchestra with Dmitrij Kitaenko. Really "Nehaus" School......

best performance i heard was live at the leeds piano competition played by severin von eckardstein. Heard him play it again at the last night of the manchester piano festival. He is a name to look out for!

I have to agree with Willster.Von Eckardstein's Prok 3 is the best you'll ever hear.It was a disgrace that he never won that competition.The Leeds stinks! >:(

A good older recording of the Prokofiev 2nd was done by Nicole Henriot, but I'm not sure if it was ever transferred to CD and is still available.
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.

I've heard a very good performance by Alexeev with Prokofiev's 2nd in a concert. Not sure if he's recorded it though.... come to think..... he was a winner of the leeds. Robert probably saw him in concert too. He was here in NZ with the NZSO last year. He also played Rach/Pag variations, but i wasn't too impressed.

Byron Janis has the best recording of Prokofiev 3 I've ever encountered.  Prokofiev would be proud.   :)

He played nr 3 also? I saw him live in the Queen Elisabeth Competition, where he played nr. 2, and won the competition also.
