Such an incredible sonata. Some playing I like particularly 2nd and 3rd movements (slight mishap at 12:34). 1st movement lacks the "drammatico" element for me (plus D# instead of Ds in bar 7). 4th movement is over-pedalled too much - sounds muddy in places (with the LH arpeggios).
@@piano2750 I think it's an issue with different sheet-editions. In my Henle urtext edition, everything is written like in Scriabin's recording. But in edition Peters, there are some different notes and even harmonical changes which sound wrong. (You can also hear something similar in Ugorski's recording, he plays for example a g natural instead of a g# somewhere in the beginning)
Cannot read music; there should be D naturals (RH and LH) in Bar 7. Glenn Gould made the same mistake. This playing is unrhythmical, and directionless.
@@Whatismusic123 please do not tell people what they have to think - especially when you know nothing about the stuff mentioned, which seems to be the case here.
@@Whatismusic123 Doesn't matter at all but it is hard to understand who you prefer between Rach and Prok in your comment (just to measure its uselessness)
The start is an incredible mix of both anger and despair, which creates a feeling of intense anguish. It's so clearly composed that its like he's putting emotions into music. It sounds ridiculous, but you find yourself actually feeling sorry for the voice that speaks, because you can hear its sadness and pain.
Scriabin was a complete genius. If he took an IQ test he couldn't not get a genius level result. The consistent quality of his composition is at a level never seen before, he was a undoubtedly a perfectionist as well. He never wrote a piece of music that he himself did not like and admire.
Una delle più straordinarie sonate della storia della musica appartenenti al primo periodo di scriabin fino alla 5 sonata denominata la gotica ha un armonia molto cantabile nel primo tempo .Molto ostico il secondo tempo con progressioni di ottave ed accordi .Bello il terzo tempo andante cantabile capolavoro
I couldn't find anything definitive. It's definitely not supposed to be played. My educated guess would be that it acts as a "grace rest". Perhaps to let the performer know how to feel the rhythm the way Scriabin intended.
Lettberg is a fantastic musician, learning all of Scriabin's Piano repertoire is certainly an insanely difficult task, reserved for only the masters.
Agreed, I like all her renditions the best
@@calebhu6383of course I know you think that
@@cubycube9924what did he say? The comment is deleted..
@@advikthepianokid4583 oh what there was no reason he would delete that…
He said something like “I think her renditions are best too”
No, it is not Ashkenazy. Yes, it is still great.
I prefer Horowitz 3rd Sonata Ashkenazy for everything else (especially 5th)

She's so very good. Her complete Scriabin solos are a fantastic feat. AND beautifully recorded I might add.
Fantastic and superb! Very delicate, but with all the madness that Scriabin's music intends. Have you played his Fantasia op. 28?
I havent.
Nah mate neither have I
0:20 Why does she play a d# instead of a d natural? It isn't written with a #
Edit: Even Scriabin himself didn't play it like that.
I was looking for this comment Xd
Yes I just noticed that as well, I play d natural also......is it a misreading? just possible.

One of my favourite piano pieces. Scriabin had the ability to create wonderful musical landscapes.

Its 4th movement is very similar to that of Bortkiewicz's sonata in c#moll
scriabin composed this sonata before bortkiewicz's sonata in c# minor, but both are soooo well written
The most underrated composer in history.
I totally agree, compared to Rachmaninow and Prokoviev the piece is so futuristic and warm and versatile in the same time!
@@henrikraschauer2417 please do not put prokofiev at the same level as rachmaninoff.

Oh my God!
That coda...
THAT CODA!!!
If you listen to the main theme of the 4 th movement
This forms a lot of material in the 4th sonata
Thank you for uploading! This is the only video with score.

So delusional

So much swagger at the end of the 2nd movement.
16:52 sounds like late chopin
Love this sonata so much
So very beautiful, thank you. 🌷🌷🌷🎹🎵 (Holland)
This is from another planet! (Uranus or so).
Lol it sounds like mocking the piece but that's just me.

Scriabin is highly prized as 「a man unrivaled」
Not my favorite rendition.
Why?!?!
Ashkenazy’s is my favorite.
@YeenBean125 youre welcome lol
Bars 2 and 4 of the Andante (mvt III) should have 16th-note LH octaves, not 32nd-note ones.
fantastic piece
amazing
In the 8th bar he plays D sharp instead of flat D.
I don't know why she does this. D natural sounds much better to me...and is in my score.
Fantastically played.
+
The interpretations sound a bit lifeless but maybe i've been spoiled by Ashkenazy.
Horowitz’s interpretation of this is also amazing
If that, then how to not being spoiled by Ashkenazy?
@@dommyajd9033 i'll have to check it out
@@aaditshrivastavamusic yes
@@aaditshrivastavamusic Good luck! Yes, I really like his other sonatas too, especially the 1st and 2nd. They are all great though.
6:44 what's with the LH tied grace notes?
