ClassicalRecords is a Youtube channel where I upload some excellent performances from the LPs in my collection. I'm uploading these LPs because they are either not available on CD, out of print on CD, or just difficult to find.
This recording gives the lie to the common misconception that Ponti cannot play with extreme delicacy; it is one of the most moving recordings of the Scriabin. His interplay with the woodwinds is especially delicate filigree. The whole concerto is played exquisitely;. thank so much for posting this lovely video/ picture archive. Are u a Ponti fan?; is so email me , if u like, on stev_arts@yahoo.co.uk for discussion
