John Bell Young plays Scriabin: Nocturne for the Left Hand, Op. 9 No. 2
"A performer in the grand old Russian romantic tradition, ...[Young] is also a pianist of considerable substance, ...he created an almost orchestral effect in Liszt's dazzling Ballade in B minor. His Scriabin selection included a remarkable performance of the Nocturne for the Left Hand in which he created a surprising level of volume and fluency with half the usual allotment of fingers. Then there was a spellbinding exotic Poeme, Op. 32 no. 1."
John Fleming, The St. Petersburg Times
Extremely beautiful playing of this divine Nocturne. I was entranced listening to it - being led through a ravishing tonal world.
