Maurizio Pollini plays Prokofiev Sonatas No. 7 

If Pollini had played only the "precipitato" in his whole life, that would be enough to place him among the greatest (or, at least, most powerful) pianists of XX century

ÉPOUSTOUFLANTE. BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO.

The precipitato is the job of a god. Mr. Pollini: chapeau!

I've listened to many different versions of this piece, but I always come back to Polliini's interpretation - it just seems more true to Prokofiev's vision than any of the others...

Monement III , Pollini played the best and amazing interpretation that I had heard ! His fingers was very powerful !

He excels in this repertoire

This version has NEVER been equalled!!!!!!

Yes

I love richter, but I think this performance is better... somehow more solid and meaningful (at least for me)

13:30

@Erik83474 there is a guy named Richter

Powerful and fast. But there's still Richter, Gould ....

And here, Polinni busts yer chops. Jai guru dev...

meh --- a bit brittle and brusque (unshaped tunes) at the front, and by now his ending is no longer unusual at all, everyone whips it off brilliantly. Excellent for the day, does not for me hold up like Gould's.
