This is one of the most faithful piano recordings I've heard for years.

This CD is the second volume in a cycle featuring Matti Raekallio with the complete piano sonatas by Sergei Prokofiev. It contains the first three sonatas coupled with Visions fugitives.
Matti Raekallio is one of Finland's foremost pianists and numbers among the most sought after pedagogues internationally. For this release, he also provided the liner notes.
The complete series is available as a boxed set (ODE947-3T), hailed by Fanfare Magazine in 1991 as, "the most proficient, intelligent and compelling Prokofiev sonata cycle I've heard!"
