What the hell? A live performance video where every comment isn't complaining about the coughing?

pure genius

@loboris1995 Scraibin composed that for the same reason.
He said that he couldn't play it on an audience cause it so dark that he was on fear. He attributed some passages to the Devil...

This performance is utterly amazing!! I've never heard another that even came close to this!!

This work scares me ^^
-
it's such a smoky recording/performance of a smoky piece. This rules. I wish was there.
-
@skryabyn So true, considering that Scriabian himself would not play the work because of it's frightening aura.
-
I think the most amazing part of this piece is that every single note means something, even when the song sounds like a jumble of keys. Breath-taking.

holllly crap. and i thought I'd heard this sonata at its best. this is unbelievable.
I think this recording (unlike those more mainstream Classical-classical music, Chopin, Mozart) demonstrates the genius of interpretation. The musical ideas that come out are not copied, or simply recycled from his contemporaries; hey are totally his. The composition exhibits genius, yet the performer equally reflects this: the endless perseverance, the drive, the character of mania, everything imaginable.

The Sixth is probably the most mysterious, scathing, crawling.
