If God can't please everyone, Sofronitsky does: no dislikes.

Perfectly balanced, poised performance. Huge and powerful when called upon (3:59). Spellbinding, too

heaven.... phantasia..... all in one.... Sofronitzky often does open a window to another world.... a better one, with lots of happiness , beauty, kindness, and that all in a well structured space. sometimes a cathedral, sometimes different..... not easy to discribe absolute beauty..... there weren t many musicians like him on earth and at the same time so much detached from earth....

Thanks so much as always! This sounds like an early studio recording, do you know when it was recorded?

This is quite unique recording released not too long ago. I don't have date (will check out), but probably late 50s - early 60s. It was recorded at Scriabin Museum in Moscow. Old and out of tune piano, primitive recording equipment... but at least we have a 2nd movement! The old and well known recording didn't include the 2nd mvmnt.

The only recording of the Andante I knew so far is the Gosteleradiofond/Pipeline Music one, January 1st, 1960 - that one? It's a beauty, but yes, doesn't include the 2nd movement.

Yes, I think it's 1960 and reproduced on many LPs and CDs (1st movement only). Actually I posted it too.

Released not to long ago in what form? It's starting to grow on me, you see... :-)

Scriabin Museum produced several CDs (about 6 or 7) in 90s. Pavel Lobanov was in charge of this project. I'm not even sure that it was completed.
