  • Of all composers, to criticize a performance of Scriabin for sensitivity to every sensuous nuance implied in the music seems anti-Scriabin, rather than a judgement based on his own heightened interest in synaesthesia, his own ecstatic poetry, his final wish to combine all the sensual elements in an eveloping Mysterium. Emotionalism of the most acute order is the impulse for nearly every piano work, staring with the earliest pieces, culminating in the late sonatas. Smelling roses? Oh..yes..!!

  • Thank you BridgeRecords101 for putting quality this high on YouTube.

  • @arjens0 most pianos don't sound that great, just pay attention to the music :P This piano has fine dynamic and tonal contrast, that's all you can really ask for.

  • Very Fine performance indeed!!!

  • Great playing, but what a shit grand piano..

    I know it is difficult to to find a real good sounding Steinway.

    It is internet, so the sound can never be perfect,but if you listen to some Horowitz recordings

    here on internet, than you here the difference between a bad and a real good Steinway.

    A good recording engineer with good microphons like Neumann or BK will help.

    .

    Good luck,

    Great playing

  • Scriabin himself sad the 7th was his best.

    I think he was right.

  • I find playing this sonato just as difficult as any of Scriabin's sonatas both in terms of stretches required, agility and tone control. The fact that a great like Emil Gilels could go so completely wrong in one passage in concert shows the dangers of this sonata. I think this is a fine performance.

  • so great! ㅠ ㅠ 감동감동~!

  • awesome job!

  • Such an Amazing Interpretation!

  • This is my favorite Scriabin sonata, this and the fifth one.

  • This is absolutely marvelous. Thank you Primakov and Bridge Records!
