You’re right, I didn’t mean to knock them exactly, but I don’t think they’re Scriabin’s best work. They’re still good, but for new listeners I think it might be more captivating to hear one of Scriabin’s iconic poems or preludes.
@@Whatismusic123 Yeah 1972, when Horowitz was almost 70 years old lol. Listen to Fiorentino the greatest pianist of the XXth century and don't talk about Horowitz anymore to me
@@Alix777. fiorentino's recording is absolute garbage. Completely static, muddles the melodic voices completely into harmony, it's an absolute mistake. I'd rather listen to any other pianist.
Thank you so much for these essays! You're making 2024 better for me.
Thank you it’s very interesting
Good to hear! Thanks!
Yes 😄
Amazing video!
Glad you think so! Cheers!
And after end everything you are now able to hear the Mysterium (completed by nemtin)
I somehow have an easier time listening to his sonata 8,10,9 more than his 6, 7. This is the order I want to recommend.
Just wondering why you recommend that new listeners avoid his Mazurkas, Nocturnes, and Impromptus. They don't seem sub-standard to me.

Op.42 n°5 : Fiorentino is the best, leaves everyone in the dust. Horowitz is just struggling it's almost embarrassing, highly overrated.
??? No, horowitz's recording is absolutely perfect. Struggling? You listening to the wrong recording?
Make sure it's the 1972 recording
