Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Op. 26 (Kissin)

Of the five piano concertos written by Prokofiev, the third piano concerto has garnered the greatest popularity and critical acclaim. The concerto radiates a crisp vitality that testifies to Prokofiev's inventive prowess in punctuating lyrical passages with witty dissonances, while maintaining a balanced partnership between the soloist and orchestra. Unlike the examples of piano concertos set by many of Prokofiev's Romantic forebears, the orchestra rises above subsidiary accompaniment to play a very active part in this work.
0:00 - Andante - Allegro
9:38 - Tema con variazioni
19:03 - Allegro, ma non troppo

The best version I have ever hear. He is very professional on prokofiev's music.

Just how amazing is Mr. Kissin! Perfect sensibility and understanding of structure! 🎉

Wonderful performance

5:25 I also love this. It sounds so much like you just entered Narnia and some mystic world. 6:50

[@RATSKETCHES]

Such a brilliant recording. Ashkenasy is my favorite pianist in these wonderful concertos. I wonder how much Kissin learned from him

[@user-ms6fp4uj5m]

He was such a genius... better than Rachmaninoff, even Shostakovich, to me.

[@cubycube9924]

If you didn’t say the “to me” part I would start rapidly accelerating towards your current location

[@orb3796]

​@@cubycube9924 Nah it sucks that Rach and Shosty are getting more recognition than Prokofiev. I find Prok's music to be much more unique and engaging than the other 2's

[@user-ms6fp4uj5m]

​@CubyCube 😂 I understand, It was a stupid comment.
but you know, who can argue about who's better or not?
They just have their own great music.

[@tiosav6251]

​@@orb3796do not listen those two ignoramusus, Proki is the best

[@marcossidoruk8033]

​@@cubycube9924 its pretty much objective tho. Prokofiev is just so much more creative and interesting than those two.

不思議な音楽

[@fredsik]

Probably my favourite piano concert, for the incredible textures, fresh harmonic language and easily-read but efficient structure! And, you know, it just hits

[@birbaharsenfonisi]

asik oldum

[@remomazzetti8757]

Prokofiev's own 1932 recording is outstanding. And live performances by the young and brilliant Alexander Malofeev are closer to Prokofiev's own performance than this recording.

[@flyaway6646]

Why does he play stoccato if it's not written?

[@collinm.4652]

To add color.

[@VitorMiguell]

I don't know if I'm going to get hate for this.I've started listening to some prokofiev recently...maaan
24:10 that just sounds like noise to me

[@erliLila]

You'll learn

[@user-ms6fp4uj5m]

Please listen to how he used the theme.
He uses the same theme again and again, but it sounds different from time to time.
And how brilliant the way he changed theme is!

[@cubycube9924]

You might like his music more after some time

[@orb3796]

I think you should rewind a few decades in music history and get used to the harmonic language of people like Liszt, Wagner and co. before you tackle Prokofiev. Jumping straight to Prokofiev without getting your ears accustomed to his harmonies first is a big mistake

[@dawlims1334]

Ooops Someone is used to romanticism melodies
