In Reply to: Thanks, I like a touch of voluptuousness in Prokofiev, as well as bite posted by jdaniel@jps.net on June 1, 2017 at 22:05:29:
As for myself, I try to avoid this kind of language because, frankly, I have no idea at all what most of it means as it relates to the music. Certainly, "celestial" is not a word I think of in connection with the Prokofiev Third Concerto. And you can count me among those who rave about the Janis recording. The Cliburn sounded relatively sedate and "safe" when I last heard it - qualities I'm certainly not looking for in this concerto. At the same time, I admit that I haven't heard the Cliburn recording in many years.
