Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915)
Piano Sonata No. 5 Opus 53 (second part)
Piano: Vladimir Horowitz
Rec. 1976
''I call you to life, O mysterious forces!
Drowned in the obscure depths
Of the creative spirit, timid
Shadows of life, to you I bring daring.''
These are the words Scriabin took from his ''Poème d'extase''
to introduce this sonata!
The sonata has been called ''a glorious afterthought'' to the
''Poem of Ecstacy''. The work strives for a similar orgiastic
climax. The main expression in this work is ''birth'', the embryo
of life that finds audacity!
Listen and feel the wisdom in this work...

@BOSOX9004 You should listen to the live recording from the 1974 Met recital, posted by kasyapa. I liked the official recording a lot until that one blew it out of the water. Much more potent.

In the world of concert pianists, there are the ones who are good, the ones who are exceptional, the ones who are phenominal, and then we have Horowitz all off in a category of his own.

I completely agree! All Horowitz' Scriabin recordings have no competitors, though I truly appreciate Richter and Sofronitsky and some others...
