Not only a great work of musical art but a great testament of humanity. This sonata, on which Prokofiev labored throughout the war years with the Nazis at Russia's doorstep, is a triumph of the human spirit over all adversity, including death itself. You see it in Kyung Wha Chung's face as she plays the sonata's final phrase. She feels it. And she understands what this sonata has achieved.
This is a great piece of music, and I always considered the Perlman/Ashkenazy recording the best interpretation. But Ms. Chung and Mr. Kenner give it a completely different character that sounds more like Prokofiev. Thank you, Kyung-Wha.

Dzięki za objaśnienie, kiedy i w jakich okolicznościach powstała sonata.
Kind explaination, thank you.

Beautifully played and don't forget Prokofiev. Such a masterwork.
she is my favorite violinist, real maestro and always can capture the essence of the piece.
Seasoned and refined Chung
well solves difficult and
abstruse Prokofiev.
Legenda .Sempre incredibile sempre speciale. Grandissima violinista.La adoro.
Beautiful piano
Great performance! I thought that she was long retired.
I really wish to hear her playing shostakovich violin concerto.
0:34------ beautiful piano
I hardly ever do this, but I gotta say - I'm not a big fan of this interpretation.
I think it might've been much better if they chose a slower tempo..
i like that she is still getting that spooky effect at that tempo
