Title: The finest Prokofiev 6th
Review: I'm surprised at the relatively low ratings given by other reviewers. This recording edges out several by Sviatoslav Richter as the finest performance on record of Prokofiev's epic 6th Sonata. Pogorelich brings amazing excitement to the unique simultaneously-A-major-and-minor first movement, and great delicacy to the quiet passages throughout. The rush to the conclusion of the 4th movement rondo is like rushing water. This, along with the 5th Symphony, War and Peace, and the 8th sonata, may be Prokofiev's finest work, and deserves to be much better known. Pogorelich's Ravel is nearly as well done. I agree with Argerich's famous evaluation of this pianist: "a genius!"
