Ancora una volta le superlative doti tecniche di Hamelin, rivelano entusiasmo, esuberanza, per una lettura tra le migliori mai ascoltate. Su questa 2a Sonata si sono sfidati i più illustri virtuosi. Ognuno ha dato smalto, tra la fitta e intricata rete di terzine che mettono a dura prova cantabilità, dinamica, nitidezza, tenuta e tutto ad altissima velocità. Siamo ancora nel primo periodo di Scriabin, ma è stato anche il banco di prova per una ricerca del suo vero e più autentico linguaggio.

Exquisite! I love this piece more than words can tell...

@G33kz0r and yet Scriabin was small handed ;)

Reminds me so dearly of the last movement of Chopin's Second Sonata.

absolutely amazing, the music and the performance... that massive chord outburst near the end really rips through your soul
Yes, I read that quote when I was studying this piece several years ago. He certainly paints a fine tone picture! I want to revisit it again soon and finish learning the last mvt.

I haven't actually played much Scriabin. His chords break my hands -- I can barely reach a tenth, let alone a twelfth. Maybe one day, when I find a smaller piano. :P

The best performance I've heard of this piece, including Richter's great one as well...so beautiful and breath-taking.

In Scriabin's own words, "The first section represents the quiet of a southern night on the seashore; the development is the dark agitation of the deep, deep sea. The E major middle section shows caressing moonlight coming up after the first darkness of night. The second movement represents the vast expanse of ocean in stormy agitation."
He certainly took a note or two from Debussy before composing this piece.
