Sergei Prokofiev - Piano Sonata No. 7, Op. 83

Pianist: Matti Raekallio
Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 7 in B-flat major, Op. 83 (1942) (occasionally called the "Stalingrad") is a sonata composed for solo piano, the second (and most famous) of the three "War Sonatas". The sonata was first performed on 18 January 1943 in Moscow by Sviatoslav Richter.
This sonata is how I discovered Raekallio's recording of the set, and it's what made me fall in love with Prokofiev (this and the 2nd concerto played by Horacio Gutierrez)
1. Allegro inquieto 0:00
2. Andante caloroso 8:06
3. Precipitato 15:01

It and the second concerto are what got me into Prokofiev!
