  • 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! ;)

  • 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).
