I wish this was how I dreamed every night...

Richter has the definitive recording on this piece. So precise and equisite, ephipanies abound with billowy cumulous clouds. Sumptuous cabernet grapes abound in this piece...

il poema del deliquio dionisiaco...

Much better than the Richter recording that I have, which he plays too slow with rubato that takes all the movement out! Thanks for bringing us this wonderful recording.

I agree, rubato should definitely be used sparingly with late Scriabin. However, i like the phrasing spaced out, as do most others. It is interesting to hear a bit of it at reasonable points in the piece.

So that is how it is supposed to sound! Great post!

Methinks truecrypt has the all-Scriabin-all-night-long recording from the Warsaw concerts in the 70's. How about loading Etude Op 42 #5 from that show?

I uploaded an earlier version - recorded in Moscow in 1952. See a video response.

a breathless dream...

I've never heard this piece before; it's very interesting.

And of course Richter plays it wonderfully
