He had first performed Tchaikovsky's Sonata in G major in 1942, recording it in Moscow in 1956. His recordings of the music of Prokofiev are the stuff of legend. He had just four days to learn the Seventh Sonata for its first performance in early 1943. Richter spoke of the work reflecting 'murderous forces unleashed' and his 1958 recording is a graphic realisation of the sentiment. The Ninth Sonata was dedicated to him and its 'radiant, simple, even intimate' quality is here perfectly realised.\u003cp\u003eTCHAIKOVSKY Piano Sonata in G major Op 37\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePROKOFIEV Piano Sonata No 7 in B flat major Op 83, Piano Sonata No 9 in C major Op 103\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55730270306689,"sku":"814668","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51Kh8MCJcTL._SL1500_822a9c4c-9446-4c08-a101-dce3b45b5feb.jpg?v=1779900942","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/814668-2","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
