Scriabin plays Scriabin

this is NOT a person playing a piano morons, it's a piano roll and there is no way you can give it any type of human feel besides basic note input to be spewed back out randomly concerning nuance. Only the tempo might have been accurate but that's about all.

actually the phrasing is preserved..
dynamics are a bit iffy, also because the hammers are different (harder)

Ecstacizing!!

heart-wrenching. you can feel his pain in the way he plays it. :(

I feel sorry for Scriabin, that he had to endure such a hell the whole of his life.

As for the remark about the composer "doesn't know how to play his own works", is utterly dispicable. Scriabin knew what he was doing, this was HIS masterpiece infused with HIS meaning.

I can appreciate some interpretations like the one by Simon Barere for its insanity but this is as good as it gets. The rest is a just matter of personal taste.

Thank you for sharing this jewel. It's my favourite piece.

Just listen to that beautiful conclusion that so many (like Horowitz) are sloppy with. This is truly insane, as it is meant to be.

This is an invaluable document of his technical and musical BRILLIANCE.

agreed

Thanks, anyway, we must know that this is a piano roll... that means Scriabin could have played this piece in a different way...

it's just my opinion..
you don't have to flame me just because we have different opinions unless you're just a retard who doesn't understand politeness or a freaking childish douchebag!
and 'a composer cant play an interpretation'??????? think again!

btw this is not a song, a song is smtg you sing..

to summarize: you're the idiot!!!

@rvn10rvn17 I cannot say I agree. Horowitz makes it sounds very... muddled within itself. Some of the poignance is lost in his takes.
At least so I feel.

And also, which is not to say he isn't a magnificent pianist, I am a fan.
