Prokofiev - Piano Sonata nr. 7

Not a lot of time for listening these days. Late last week I followed up with another version of Prokofiev's Seventh Sonata. A Naxos recording with pianist Bernd Glemser, unbeknownst to me. That must be my fault as apparently he has won 17 consecutive (?) piano competitions since 1981. He was also the first Western musician to perform live on Chinese television. Strange track record ... Anyway, his reading of the Prokofiev didn't really convince me. Technically it seems to be well played, which is a feat in itself of course. It's clear and clean, frighteningly so even. But for me it lacks colour and commitment. Give me the Bronfman any day.
