I love Scriabin more than any other composer. I never get tired of his music. There's something unique in him. I wish I was able to express what it is. His harmonies give me a truly, yet remote, physical pleasure. Sofronitsky is the man, a true sorcerer of the keyboard.

This is true freedom which shows off in reality the state of confusion and the mind of scriabin. This is fantastic and awesome.

@Gargantupimp I totally disagree with you on Hamelin, I think people like to slate him because they are envious of his phenomenal technique. Yet I think his recording of the Black Mass is sublime, he's capable of producing that mystic sound and also hold the architecture of these pieces together.

Scriabin was a true mystic genius and interpretations vary. Ruth Laredo's performances are grand. But, she is not on You Tube with this one or No. 3. She has a record, and there are probably CDs, as she is now in the spirit world with Scriabin.

this is phenomenon, what a spiritual interpretation with endless fantasy and poetry, what a freedom and fly. such a pity that having all the competition bullshit nowadays, no one is brave enough to take the risk to search that freedom, with which only an artist could join the process of creation and become one with the music.

Thank god that this is apparently a Lost Art. For incompetent, ugly, lumpy unrythmic bashing, look no further. Suffer-on-it's-key is his usual self. Ugh.

@UWSResident Gilels had also this admiration on Sofronitsky^^,and Sofronitsky had an admiration on Richter too^^

@VanoPitersky

This is, without a doubt, the worst comment I have ever seen. Sofronitsky's and Horowitz's interpretations of Scriabin were absolutely sublime, but that does not take away the power and performance of other interpretations. Simply limiting the music to some archaic and draconian set of characteristics is a disservice to the genius that composed it.

In short: grow up.

@daredash2005 Aye, I agree. You speak the truth - unfortunately.

[Gargantupimp]

@twooffour oh yeah liszt compositions and arrangements are awesome, hamelins suck, and hamelin is a sloppy piano player who often loses the rythmic pulse of a piece
