scriabin is god, and sofronitsky the prophet!

A MUST for any pianist who loves Scriabin and aspires to play his music....Sofronitsky finds all kinds of nuances in the music that only artists from a vanished age of Romantic piano playing could bring to light....with beautiful sound. The luminousness, the light and shade...with such a supple mechanism.

Thank you so much for posting this!
I have been trying to track down Sofronitsky playing the Op. 8 etudes for a while.
I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find a CD of this... I would very much like to find it and I have been looking everywhere without any success.

is it just me or is number 6 strikingly similar to Chopin's impromptu 3?
-
great mustache in any case

Il migliore pianista di tutti i tempi!!!!

This is great. Only for no. 5 I prefer Richter.

Personalissimo con qualche instabilità dinamica e ritmica (ma, dato l'autore, ci può stare).
I don't suppose you have his rare recording of the 6th sonata? I've been attempting to track that one down, with no luck.

I'm afraid there is no Sofronitsky's "official" recording of the 6th. No doubt he played it, but seems like there is no recording. I do have 1st Sonata though... I also have Richter's live recording Scriabin 6th - 1955. Will post if you'd like it ;)

Have you heard Joseph Villa's Scriabin, by the way? His 3rd and 5th are near-perfect clones of Horowitz but his 7th is like no other recording.

I don't know Villa's recordings... will check out. There are too much to listen to - simply not enough time ;) As we used to say - if you go to the recitals too often you'll never get to your own! ;)
