Oh my god he is fantastic...

[@notaire2]

Präzise und zugleich lyrische Interpretation dieser technisch anspruchsvollen Klaviersonate im veränderlichen Tempo mit durchsichtigem Anschlag und sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Bestimmt eine der zehn besten Aufführungen dieses Werks bis heute!

17:09 - This part just melts my soul, it's like having the sweetest and most lovable melodies come out of the thunders of war..

Да, это так неожиданно и так нежно.

Ma sonate pour piano préférée

[@berlinzerberus]

The sonata was first performed on 30 December 1944 in Moscow by Emil Gilels.
Marvellous Richter!

[@incontrariomotu]

Richter is marvellous here. And Gilels remains for me the best interpret of this sonata. His studio recording is just extraordinary.
Prokofiev had a unique chance : to have Richter as the first interpret of the 6th sonata, and Gilels for the 8th. They kept those sonatas in their repertoire and became their best interprets.
And I also consider Richter as the best interpret of the 9th, and Gilels as the best for the 3rd.

[@berlinzerberus]

I entirely agree!
The 7th Sonata played by Glenn Gould is also excellent
