This has to be the most beautiful slow movement of a piano concerto...ever. I will often listen to this on repeat.

Well, i listened to both Neuhaus and Nasedkin's Scriabin concertoes(second mv) there are things i like about both of them. what i like about this one is that Nasedkin has given priority to the piano and it is clear and precise. it is a bit showy though and a bit "robotic"
Neuhaus's however is beautiful and a bit more emotional, but the other instruments crowd over the piano a bit. i believe that the piano has a beautiful melod and it should ring above the other instruments

how much i love this .... dont even know how to say it!! For me, this is perfect, NEVER heard a piano concerto like this. so fucking romantic the second part :D
the piano and the orchester are like a cople...loving each other, hating each other, discussing, hitting, :D like a Pair ! oh my god i love it ....1:43,
how they fall in love or THE first contact. and the piano is the man, of course :D

I agree...can it be true that Scriabin wrote the theme when he was only 11 years old, but did the variations much later on.

But of course, there will always be a person or two left watching this farce and laughing their heads off. They are the ones who hold today's wisdom.
Im curious truecrypt--what do you think of this recording compared to Neuhaus'?

It's very much Neuhaus playing but technically "improved", and more *structured*
Nasedkin was the "second favorite" for Heinrich...
I love charm and little imperfections of old Neuhaus recordings. He was a Poet but he struggled with piano sometimes. Nasedkin is a brilliant pianist - no struggling whatsoever, but I personally sometimes prefer "rough and unpolished" to "shiny and glossy". Both are absolutely great though!

I agree with you, I love the "poetry" of Heinrich Neuhaus, though I don't know what you mean by more structured; I simply fail to hear more structure here than in Neuhaus' recording. P.S. Did you listen Stanislav Neuhaus playing this concerto (it's here on YT, a little difficult to find though)? That's another gem! Thanks for sharing this...

Probably word *structured* is not a good choice here. The combination of technical perfection and exquisite sense of proportion makes Nasedkin's performance a bit too "perfect". Somehow technical imperfection and kind of uncertainty makes Neuhaus' performance closer to my heart.
Yes, I know Stanislav Neuhaus recording - an excellent one! I also recommend Nikolai Demidenko - just outstanding!
