Sofya Gulyak - Scriabin Sonata n°4

[dellepianni]

Marvelous!

[Dennischek]

@StAmalthea not sad at all. She's quite good pianist and how can you assume that people wouldn't like her playing ? You seem to just try to insult her deliberately . and there's no competition playing.

I think many of the comments are too hard on this performance. First of all, it's clearly been recorded with a hand held video camera - one step above a cellphone cam - so criticizing her sound is not really fair. Who knows what it really sounded like in the hall. Clearly she is a technical whiz, my only gripe is not enough pedal in the 2nd mvt. It's too dry and this exacerbates the balance issues. And it seems pure snark to criticize too fast a tempo when it's marked Prestissimo volando!

Хорошо!

[eolanden]

разочаровала меня....

Ей Листа, Прокофьева идет играть, а не Скрябина.

Соня,Соня...((

[Pavelplaypiano777]

Не слушай никого, Соня! Мы никогда не будем вторыми Софроницкими и Файнбергами! Играй на своём лауреацком уровне и этого вполне достаточно! Удачи и хороших импрессарио тебе на твоём нелёгком пути!!!

At first, listening only, i thunk: what's wrong? Then, looking, i saw the Yamahaha and understood. These instruments are not for music. Does this also account for scrappy, approximate filigree, confused, noisy recap section, uneven, unbalanced lines/harmonies, and underwhelming climax? Obviously a competent player in the mechanical sense tho.

beautiful legato!!

[marcohorowitz8]

yep agree. she plays everything too fast

[pianodreams12345]

this is not good at all. the opening is more like debussy than scriabin and the volando 2nd movt is simply fast without the clarity of the lines - take the return of the theme at 4:40 for example, where is the theme in the alto? it should be a duet. it's cheap, fast, competition playing, sorry, not art.

stfu tool

[Pianist54d]

I think she rushes too much I think, doesn't catch the essence of Scriabin. Virtuosic performer though.

[woffolo]

Agogica e dinamica improvvisate

[VoninamhaR]

TEMP!!!!!!?????????

[VoninamhaR]

много нюансов Скрябина не выполняется, многое не до выдерживается, за частую просто обрывается.

[Vettezuki]

The performance is among my favorite. But the sound is killing me.

[ukdavepianoman]

Wonderful expression and power. And formidable technique too. One of the best performances of this sonata I've heard

[Scarbogn]

It sounds like Sergio Fiorentino playing, i like this performance she has a very good technik

[lovesGenet]

so good to hear herin something else bes he Liszt which is her forte .I wanted to c wht her ideas in skr would be. Impressive but her finesse in smaller dynamics or bad rec not sure.
