Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor, Op. 16

1. how you come across to it:
HKPO concert with Yundi Li & de Waart (RTHK TV broadcast)

2. why this piece?
It digs deeply into your soul and your heart. Once you started listening the opening, you will listen to it until the end and then replay again and again in CD player / computer speaker / in your mind for a long period of time.

3. (and...)
Though I don't like Prokofiev (even hate), the piece can become one of my top favourites. Can't you be stunned by the following cadenza?

Remember Yundi Li rendition but no more (at this moment)
