No.6,7 and 8 are just right for todays pianists but when remembers what humanbeings were doing to each in the 1940's in gulags and concentration camps no artistic statememt can be rough enough . Messiaen takes a completely different road . Schnittke gives it to us as well as Lutoslawsky ,Penderecki and many others after the 1960's !
I think this is open for discussion. There is an argument that art does not need to represent reality to be good or relevant, because honesty is not the only virtue. The most accurate representation of something is the thing itself. That would require war-informed art to be war itself, with all the associated crimes against humanity. Performance art is pushing the boundaries of artistic license (e.g. Marina Abramovic essentially torturing herself), but it had better stop short of this. In order to be therapists rather than criminals, artists dealing with horrors must filter and distance themselves from them. So, given that accurate representation isn't on, it's not a question of whether there's a filter but how strong it should be.
Estupenda. No rompan las pelotas con eso de que lo toca rápido, si hay algo que jode son esas interpretaciones lentas y flácidas que le quitan poder a la música, si no les gusta como lo toca marta vayan a escuchar a otro , o toquenlo uds

WOW, reminds me of the excellent Grant Johannesen, even better (the worst was Khatia Buniatishvili with 100% wrong emphasis and banging bass). I have over a dozen recordings of this sonata. The problem with the recording of Argerich is her opening of the 1st movement where she is the fastest of all, missing all the depth and beauty that Johannesen brings to it by s l o w i n g down to smell the roses. Her version is comparable to an impressionistic blur of sound, okay as well but not my favorite. I think I will meld his opening 1st and 2nd movements to her 3rd movement. So many pianists play this work as if Prokofiev is mad/angry (Sokoloff 1994). Why? It's not pleasant to hear it played like angry music (I have and heard most of over 13,500 LPs/CDs/78s piano recordings in my collection out of 54,000).
