Many pianists treat Prokofiev's sonatas as paeans to the steel industry. François-Frederic Guy, though, makes a priority of projecting the rich motherlode of musical ideas throughout the Sixth and Eighth sonatas. Rarely in the Sixth's finale, for instance, do you hear the motoric left hand chords accompanying the dazzling right hand descending scales shaped so cogently, with every pitch audible. Guy also points up the lengthy first-movement central section's kinship to Debussy's soundworld and brings remarkable diversity of texture and sonority to the second movement's difficult-to-voice chords that perpetually leapfrog from one register to another.
