Jozef Kapustka - Prokofiev Sonata No.7, 3 mvt

Rage against the machine slash a true slaughterhouse.This is faster than Cziffra's and he gets ALL the notes right which is kinda unbelievable.Highest respects to the pianist.

This is FANTASTIC!!!!

I agree with getitstraight,it should rather not be played this way,but nevertheless the guy is brilliant in doing a highly freeky stunt number.He should consider slowing it largely down for,although I don't believe in meaningful details,it could be beneficial.If this performance might not be a milestone accomplishment it is something to be definitely highlighted, because no matter what one can say about it,it pisses the hell out off the average classical music consumer and is simply brilliant.

Other extreme.Way to slow,the so called faster version clearly artificially sped up a tone or so,one wonders what for.The professional sound recording and possibly treatment makes a huge difference.Also,besides that we might be falling into a 'famous brand name vs.newcomer syndrome'trap, it produces no energetic shockwave effect this one does and for that very reason pales in comparison on a first sight,WAIT, even though the music stands up defending itself in some hypnotic way in both cases.

It is more visionnary and provocative in a wicked Prokofiev show off style,historically speaking, although Sokolov has other undeniable upper shelf qualities this one lacks. Both are highly charismatic but as an overall case there is no point whatsoever to compare them. Clearly nobody, Freddy Kempf included, has dared to play it this way, since the speed is a major qualitative factor here,meaning insanely fast YET close to the absolute technical mastery.

technique is impressive, incredible. But he just destroys the piece and it's awful to listen to.

Listen to Sokolov!

Swear God and everything else this is NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sped up.I think Kapustka will be very happy to play it live for you and a professional jury of your choice even if it might take for him to travel all the way to Canada, on your expense that is :) for seeing is believing obviously:)

are you high? in no way is this a truly genuine performance, given the speed at which it's played. period.

it's (clearly) sped up, so not genuine at all
