Prokofiev: Piano Sonatas 6 - 8
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It's good to have Sviatoslav Richter's peerless interpretations of the three Prokofiev War Sonatas gathered in one place, if only because of the pianist's personal association with the composer. The Sixth comes closest to capturing the controlled frenzy of the pianist's 1960 Carnegie Hall reading, but the Philips version must take priority for cleaner finger work and professional engineering. Richter's 1958 studio Prokofiev Seventh (BMG) stresses the work's inherent lyricism and overlooked pianistic beauty without sacrificing energy in the outer movements; twelve years later, the pianism remains powerfully intact but is more internalized. Revelation's 1961 live Eighth Sonata flows freer and quicker than the studio version, while the sonics are murkier but less metallic on top. - -Jed Distler

A complete synthesis of the art of Prokofiev.......2000-06-21
The nine piano sonatas of Prokofiev occupy an important position in the history of the piano of the twentieth century and they cover a time that crosses whole compositive activity of the Russian composer. In these works we find all the peculiarities of Prokofiev: the percussive and barbaric rudeness of the first period, the synthesis of virtuosity, choreographic spirit and neoclassicism of the intermediary period and the tragic expressiveness of the last sonatas, sometimes transfigured in episodes of intense lyricism; everything is built always with a recognizable style, offering a complete synthesis of the art of Prokofiev. The interpretation of Boris Berman is very valid, idiomatic, and it respects the spirit of the composer adequately. The presence of the recordings of some sonatas (2,6,7,8,9) in the extraordinary interpretation of Sviatoslav Richter prevents me to assign the fifth star to the edition of Berman. To the amateurs of Prokofiev I would recommend the acquisition of the complete edition of the piano works of Prokofiev, in 9 CDs, effected by Berman, also for Chandos; it is surely more expensive, but it represents a cultural contribution of high value. The quality of the recording Chandos is excellent.

Kremer + Beethoven = YUM.......2007-06-21
I sort of ignored this collection after I bought it because of how much music there is to contend with, but I recently re-discovered these discs and WOW. I really love hearing Kremer play Beethoven. His style compliments this music in some surprising and profound ways.
excellent value and performances.......2005-02-18
Like the other entries in DG's "Collector's Editions", the eight discs come in envelopes and a compact box with a liner note booklet. This box includes all of the Beethoven violin sonatas (3 full discs) Kremer recorded in the late eighties and early nineties. The performances are higly regarded (see Amazon reviews under the individual discs, Penguin and Grammaphon reviews very positive as well). In addition, you get higly regarded recrodings of sonatas by Schumann and Brahms. The Prokofiev is the only disc of the eight that falls flat. The music does not require Kremer's pyrotechnics and would benefit from a subtler interpretation. Recording quality is first rate throughout. All in all, an excellent repackaging and value!

Customer Reviews:
Magnificent Prokofiev!!.......2007-01-09
I heard the Prokofiev 7th Sonata on the radio in what was the most virtuoso spellbinding performance I had heard since Horowitz recorded it in the 1940s. When the announcer said the name of the artist, I had never heard of him, but I promptly wrote the name down. It was Matti Raekallio.
I finally (years after the fact) tracked down this set and immediately put in the 7th sonata to see if it was as great as I had remembered it. YEP! IT was and more! This, without a doubt, is one of the greatest 7th sonatas ever put on record. You've got to hear it to believe it. The final precipatato movement is taken at such a breaknect speed that it's hard to believe he can get through it...but get through it he does in spectacular fashion.
The rest of the performances are just as good in the set with an especially compelling rendition of the complete Visions Fugitives.
I also got another recording of Raekellio playing Liszt and Brahms paganini etudes and it is just as impressive. If you get a chance to hear this remarkable artist, please do so. You won't be disappointed!

The illustration shows the pianist in a black T-shirt and martial arts pose, fist outstretched. It's not as silly as it looks initially, since in the first movement of the Sixth Sonata, Prokofiev calls on the pianist to strike the keyboard with a clenched fist. Guy's aggressive pose reflects his power and energy, but it's not the whole story of his playing. He plays the climaxes of Prokofiev's scores with great power. He also captures the wistfulness of the Sixth Sonata's Allegretto (the calm after the storm), and makes sense out of the puzzling music in the Eighth Sonata's first movement. These performances cover the very wide range of Prokofiev's demands, and while François-Frédéric Guy isn't quite Sviatoslav Richter yet, he comes amazingly close to that legendary pianist's achievements. If only his label had used the blank space on this 57-minute CD to include the Seventh Sonata, this would be an irresistible disc. As it is, with its realistic, resonant sound, it's still very attractive. --Leslie Gerber
