    Horowitz is amazing, but I like Gilels' interpretation more than Horowitz'. Gilels hits a soft spot in my heart when playing this, that I don't get from hearing Horowitz'. This is a true piece of art , and those 4 who dislikes don't know what they're disliking!

      No, listen to Sofonitsky's scriabin, he was and is still unmatched. Gilels learned this piece by listening to him, by the way, Gilels considered him the greatest pianist in the world, which is true, listen to Sofronitsky's Schumann Etudes if you have any doubts.

    Gilels affascina con questa splendida interpretazione!
    È proprio il caso di dire la grande musica Russa ai Russi...
    La profondità della Scuola Compositiva e di quella Interpretativa creano una incommensurabile armonia sonora che identifica come unico possibile modo di suonare Sriabin....
    Genio Gilels, e regolatezza!

      Indeed. He was a remarkable musician with only his contemporary, Richter, matching him. His subtlety and interpretation express so much. From the same recital the Bach B minor Prelude brings tearful ecstasy.

    Three thoughts: take them as you will,
    Gilels plays this beautifully.
    Scriabin said he was a mystic, did he forsee an early death So zoomed forward in maturity?
    Horowitz?!?!? What did he see, experience, feel? That is just another level. In the same composer?!

      Nobody compares to Horovitz when it comes to this piece. Horowitz plays it like God. There was and will not be a better performance. Even the great Emil Gilels, despite the fact that he plays beautifully, was unable to come close to the perfection, which in the case of this etude is named after Horovitz.

    It is amazing to see the already emotionally complex nature of this very early Scriabin's piece in contrast with, for example, the light (in the two senses) nature of most of Mendelssohn's early (and later) works.
    Everything is within classical music land.
    And Scriabin occupies an unique place on it.
