You are constantly taught when learning an instrument to carry on regardless of whatever horrendous mistakes you make during a recital. Most soloists do this although on some rare occasions they leave the stage, come back and start the piece again..Gilels goes very wrong and jumps to the next section where he knows he can continue. He also hits several wrong notes in other places, and yet it's still a wonderful interpretation. Just shows how difficult and treacherous Scriabin is to play!
all of a sudden at 4:59 things change... it does sound like it was on purpose and he was being creative but for someone like me who was so excited to be hearing gilels' scriabin's 4th it's disappointing
@jubulalau Gilels demonstrates the amazing ability to actually badly garble a passage but maintain the underlying composure and excitement to such a degree that the listener either doesn't notice or doesn't care. Great artist.
its truly great.. but why is half of the recapitulation missing? it sounds as if it were either fast forwarded, or he rolled his arms across the piano half way through and picked up 12 or so bars later haha
Great artistry, getting so much of the musical content, the balance of sound & mood, even if going rather haywire in the middle. Gilels' overview of this piece is grandiose.
Most pianists fail in the transition between the first and the second movement (2:45 here). They loose the momentum and the piece breaks down. Gilels constructs it wonderfully,

I imagine that a pianist like Keith Jarrett would be very good for this kind of pieces. I think that Scriabin's music foreshadows jazz.

@hypsophilus
Did you know that Glenn Gould called Bill Evans "Scriabin of jazz" ?

even the gods of the piano are mortal. He had a memory slip, also earlier on. Listen to VASSILY PRIMAKOV
