Sviatoslav Richter plays Scriabin Préludes Op. 11 (selection)

[MrRrrrvvvv]

No. 24 is badly rushed IMO.

Again, by playing them "straight" or "matter-of-fact", rather than with the endless coy rubato and sempre pianissimo we are used to, Richter reveals the poetry that lies within the notes. The Preludes emerge fresh as paint, as simple and precious as some dew hanging from a branch. Only water - but somehow, also, much, much more.
