@@mikevogel8698 Richter does not have all that many Scriabin recordings on UA-cam, but I love his Vers la Flamme. Ashkenazy is excellent. He probably has the most extensive Scriabin repertoire on UA-cam, and it is better than Sofronitsky much of the time, especially as far as recording quality goes. Zhukov is also excellent. He has the best recordings of Sonatas 7 and 8, Polonaise opus 21, and Valse op. 38 in my opinion. Zhukov may sound a bit like Richter to some people because they studied under the same teacher in the same school. Zhukov tends to play a bit slower and extremely thoughtfully. That's why I like his versions of the musical titans which are sonatas 7 and 8.
Moim zdaniem W Sofranicki jest( byl) najlepszym wykonawca A.Scriabina. Całkowicie oddaje to co chciał pr,ekazac Skriabin kompozytor genialny. Tkanki You.
The most brilliant performer ever of the unique genius that Scriabin was. There's an almost miraculous lightness and brightness in his play that you don't hear anymore these days.
Hello Erik, Over a decade ago at a masterclass of Viktor Merzhanov he said about my playing "like I'm hearing Sofronitsky". (I didn't know who he was so I looked for it on the net and found a gamingforum packed with recordings and scores and rare recordings of Sofronitsky.) I'm now working on a piano program to give concerts but I'm struggling with my health. If you're interested I let you know when and where and you are invited. I actually always asked myself why you started ignoring me? Gossip or other reasons? All the best, Michiel
I would add Vitaly Margulis was outstanding, but he passed away in 2011. He taught for many years at St Petersburg Conservatory and then at UCLA. Morton Estrin was extraordinary too; he spent decades teaching at Hofstra University and had a private studio based on Long Island. He passed away in December 2017. I don't think I will ever find a living pianist who can play Scriabin or piano in general, anymore, like these great old masters did.
Sofrinitsky's performance of the early etudes captures the piquancy of Scriabin's youth. These pieces have a wide range of characteristics and evoke a wide range of emotions and feelings, aesthetically from intimacy to joy to contemplation to sadness and reflection. I've enjoyed listening to them immensely. Many thanks to you Mr. Max Lima!
I love classical piano music of the Classical and Romantic periods. When young, my sister gave piano lessons and practised herself at home. Therefore, I was always around piano music of Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Chopin. During past decades, I listened to almost all of Beethoven's and Chopin's piano works. Their music as well as their struggling and passionate lives always inspired me to escape from frustrations in my life. Together with these, I also loved masterpieces of Brahms, Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, Debussy and others. Recently, I came across this Scriabin's 12 Etudes (Op. 8), which got me interested in Scriabin (1872-1915). This 12 Etudes are so much enjoyable for me, familiarized with Chopin, that I regret that I picked up his works so late in my life. That's partly because I didn't know that Scriabin composed for decades in a fairly conventional late-Romantic manner, revealing the influence of Chopin, even though he employed atonality and dissonance later in his career. Among the 12 Etudes, No. 12 is so gorgeous. At present, together with this 12 Etudes (Op. 8), 24 Préludes (Op. 11) also resonate with me. More works of Scriabin will be added to the repository of my favorite classical piano music. I like this Sofronitsky's rendition of Scriabin. His play makes me feel at ease.
No. 8 has always been such a tender listening experience -- if I recall the biography by Bowers correctly, Scriabin composed no. 8 for either a love-interest or wife (can't recall exactly).
Scriabine a le don du précieux sans préjudice de profondeur. Là réside son génie que sa vie durant étendit sur ses créations. Ma préférence va vers les études et les préludes qu’enrichissent son œuvre. André Lischke, mieux que moi, rend compte du fait. « Les études de Scriabine, regroupées en séries, hormis quelques pièces isolées ou intégrées à d’autres recueils, jalonnent les principales étapes de sa vie et de son langage. A l’instar de celles de Chopin, et bientôt de Debussy, elles sont généralement construites chacune à partir d’une formule technique et/ou expressive, paraphrasée et développée. Scriabine use autant de la virtuosité digitale que de celle du poignet, multipliant les sauts rapides et périlleux, les staccati et les martèlements, les arpèges et les accords à grands écarts (alors qu’il avait lui-même de petites mains !), et corsant les difficultés par les superpositions de valeurs rythmiques différentes (par exemple quintolets à une main et triolets à l’autre) ; cette polyrythmie scriabinienne va dans le même sens que la complexité de son harmonie, tendant à rompre les cadres établis. À côté de cela, quelques études peu nombreuses mais remarquables sont au contraire, de même que chez Chopin, consacrées non à la technique mais à la qualité des sonorités, du phrasé et de la mise en valeur des métamorphoses harmoniques » (“À l’orée de l’ineffable : les Études de Scriabine, entre poésie et virtuosité” ).
Les innombrables "petites" pièces de Scriabine, auxquelles on peut aussi assimiler ces études et nombre de préludes étaient pour lui comme un journal de bord intime. On arrive ainsi à suivre son parcours si particulier qui part quasiment de Chopin pour arriver à une sorte d'atonalisme voisin de Schönberg. Etape après étape , ces pièces servaient de laboratoire d'essai pour ses oeuvres plus longues et développées telles que ses 10 sonates. Trajectoire assez unique et singulière dans l'histoire de la musique !
More colorful beautiful piano sound than Horowitz and Sofronitsky and student Malofeev=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Horowitz and student Malofeev=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin Maria Grinberg Murray Perahia! More powerful louder than Sofronitsky and Horowitz and Malofeev=Mikhail Pletnev! The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi!
When listening to these fascinating - next to none - readings it is important to know what a grand Sofronitsky was playing. It was his private pre WW2 Bechstein. Have tried once it - with my non pianist fingers - the sound was still as fabulously sonorous as the keys deeply worn under the great masters work.
Sofronitsky is one of my all time favorites for Scriabin, just compare to the many excellent Scriabinist who do so well nowadays. I have many playlist for Scriabin including one called "Scriabin like !!!" see "PaulRx4" here and Spotify where i have much much more.
I suppose, and hope, it depends on which edition the pianist uses. My copy is Peters Edition and, in number 1 it clearly states 3 against 2 between the hands throughout, but Sofronitsky plays the 2 as part of a triplet. Which way did the composer write it?
Wow....#6 is more Chopin than Chopin himself! #12 Powerful but really wierd....idiosyncratic interpretation like Pogo, Gould or Horowitz would risk. Huuuuuuge, of course.....BRAVO!
Let's be honest: this is not *that* good. Beautiful moments, but quite messy playing at other times. The fifth class piano doesn't make things any better.
Phenomenal Scriabin and Phenomenal Sofronitsky! Sofronitsky brings Scriabin ALIVE and with beautiful musical energy!

Extremely expressive, musical playing. It's easy to see why Sofronitsky was considered one of the great Scriabinists.
Completely agree
Horowitz too was near of Scriabine and had taken the spirit of the genius !!
Please tell me, who is the greatest Scriabinist? I am parcel to Richter.

Ah, that great Vladimir Sofronitsky! We all love his Skryabin interpretations!

Actually, you hardly hear **ANY** classical music any more. All gone, bye-bye..

Because for the modern classical teaching it's not needed, the most important thing is to play as it's written...
@@CLASSICALFAN100 what about trifonov and some other fine pianists ?
Какое наслаждение для Души, для Сердца. Великолепное исполнение!
Etude op. 8 no. 5 is such a beautiful conversation between the two hands, incredibly intimate.
It’s actually one hand playing both voices!

私にとってスクリャービンの音楽は大人になって知った美しい世界です。
それまではリスト、ショパン、ラフマニノフなどの作曲家しか知らずにきました。
ある日ラジオから流れてきたスクリャービンの練習曲を聴いた時は電流が走ったような感動でした。
聞けば聞くほどまた聴きたくなります。

5:30 just beautiful
Always wondered if anyone tried covering 5:10 with a jazz saxophone.
Nos 5 and 10 are miraculous!
I really liked it.I wasn t a fan but I am because of the light he gives these.And they re very difficult.

Antti Sairanen do you know where it is now?
Thank You...even if it is an "ancient" recording; what with our now being all-too used to this digital what-have-you....Thank You!...
Guess what? **ALL** classical recordings are "ancient" now, because nobody buys them. They don't even try to sell them at antique shops...
Regardless...it is still Scriabin....Thank You!...
A little bit clumsy, the notes in the treble... but then I was raised on Horowitz... nonetheless 👏 bravo dear conference!!!
Sofronitsky is one of my all time favorites for Scriabin, just compare to the many
excellent Scriabinist who do so well nowadays. I have many playlist for Scriabin
including one called "Scriabin like !!!" see "PaulRx4" here and Spotify where i have
much much more.
Wish I could play No 7, very pretty but so difficult!
super
好棒
s o l i t u d e r e c i f e t o i l e without fear -bud
Sofronitsky's style just like scriabin himself.
After several versions I would think most pianists trying to playing Scriabin well, but Sofronitsky is like talking to him.

I suppose, and hope, it depends on which edition the pianist uses. My copy is Peters Edition and, in number 1 it clearly states 3 against 2 between the hands throughout, but Sofronitsky plays the 2 as part of a triplet. Which way did the composer write it?
A major
Wow....#6 is more Chopin than Chopin himself! #12 Powerful but really wierd....idiosyncratic interpretation like Pogo, Gould or Horowitz would risk. Huuuuuuge, of course.....BRAVO!
Par contre, no. 12 is terribly crashy! (Makes Horowitz sound almost effete!)
clumsy.....
was he then drunk?
Im feeling Im sober
Even though im drinking (vodka, may be
Je n'aime pas trop ça manière d'interpréter...
Let's be honest: this is not *that* good. Beautiful moments, but quite messy playing at other times. The fifth class piano doesn't make things any better.
Having listening to a few including Medhzanov or Amirov live recording , I wonder with what metrics you consider this recording " not that good " .
Very honest
