Sabaneyev - Piano Sonata, Op. 15 "In Memory of Scriabin" (Schäfer)

- Sabaneyev, a great friend of Scriabin's and a writer of books about him, is one of the most grandiose, but terrifyingly obscure representatives of the great Russian mystical musical movement. His Sonata is incomparable; taking its cue from Scriabin's passionate and transcendent music, it is dedicated to this giant, a monumental figure of great mystical romanticism. Where Scriabin illuminated the soul with colour and ecstasy, Sabaneyev succeeded in establishing a sublime, dramatic and almost nebulous world. In the same way as with the "Passacaglia and Fugue on the Themes of the Apocalypse", this author and composer has given birth to an eternal pillar of music, opening his gaze on eternity and on the territory covered in mists, still unexplored by Scriabin.
Pianist : Michael Schäfer

Unfortunately, the video of this piece, originnaly uploaded by toothless toe, seems to not be visible anymore on youtube. I decided to make a video for it, as in my opinion, it truly is a monumental achievement of the musical world!
thank you! I was searching for that video and realized it was removed
i think it came back
Très intéressant, merci !
Other than being an important figure for all Scriabinists (Occasionally questionable comments), Sabaneyev is also a fantastic composer that unfortunately does not get the recognition that he deserves
Amen
I have inherited a Sabaneev's book "Scriabin" from 1916 from my grandfather, who wanted to become a composer in his youth, which did not happen. Read it in my early 20's with not much effect. Discovered Scriabin's music in my 30's, and now revisiting it in my 50's (pure genius what more can I say). Recently read other Sabaneev's books - another (Memoirs) about Scrabin, "Memories of Russia" and now reading the one about Taneev. Written in a beautiful Russian language, in great style, in a pure and simple way, all his books and articles are true gems. He was a great talent, beautiful writer, friend and composer. He writes about all the people he knew (from Tsar Alexander III to his friend Scriabin) with such warmth kindness and humor only a few memoir writers could. (Irina Odoevtseva's memoirs come to mind). His Scriabin's Prometheus arrangement for 2 pianos is a second to none!
I get some serious "Vers la flamme" vibes with this sonata. Thanks for uploading!
In its bitonality it seems to resemble the black mass sonata. It is interesting, but very difficult, I don't know if this an ideal interpretation. Thank you for sharing.
impresionante! Mil gracias!!!!!
True....a rather Sensational Tour-de-Force.....BRAVO, Maestro Schäfer....from Mexico City!
Extraordinary piece...extraordinary performance.
Thank you for posting such rare works. Dark Slavic disturbism.
Monumental indeed! One hearing is not enough to fully digest a monument of this size. I can see why he decided to dispense with a key signature: he might well have done the same with the time signatures, which are also more honoured in the breach than the observance ;-). Bravo to the performer: if I hadn't heard it with my own ears I would have thought the passage round 2:40 almost unplayable. Thanks for posting!
Gorgeous music! Helped the late19th century define itself aswell as early confused20th.I'd think learning it was well worth the labor!I loved this and the2ndmovement15thminute outScriabins in texture Scriabin..Nebulous and mists is right and perhaps this is why Scriabin too is only known to pianists and classical music devotees unlike Schumann or Prokofiev (everyone has heard something of these 2 even if all they know is rap and circus radiomusic.Solimited this music and I haveto check out the composer/Fantastic world but I myself as a composer see it as irresponsible to only mine in a single island.Thankyou for making the music and especially the fantastic and imaginative score ahain available .This is very good OLDmusic(nothing NEW here or earth shattering like Prokofiev2nd and 3rd Sonatas .It is reminiscent of Scriabin but also showing some post1920 sound developments but this music is stuck in 1906! Of course compared to Prokofiev oldfashioned structured Sonatas but new sarcastic and completely20th centutycontent Boulez and Messiaen or even Ravelbig piano worksor the Debussy etudes it ONLY looks to the past and really may not have a lot to offer anyone who lived later thanWW1.
I doubt there will be a "In Memory of Sabaneyev" piano sonata.
oh ill try my best to make sure you are wrong

Imagine "In Memory of Carl Hopkinson", I can't.
I readed Book, and also sabaneyev spoke when he writed pieces like mozart. But this wery good work
Just played this. Then my cat did exactly the same 😂
This is cool music
Whoa
Scriabin would have loved this.
Ah yes I'm glad you posted this one... I missed it on UA-cam; Never gets old.
I also quite like your description "sublime, dramatic, nebulous world"...
The final pages of this work are, to me, as close as one can get to a metaphysical reality through the mere sound of a piano. Sort of like a Mahler symphony or (quite obviously) a Scriabin sonata, but taken to its darkest and most catastrophically introspective extremes.
Well, hello Mr.Pisanu
Hello Davide 2
Epic

Finally one has to ask oneself about all that self-addressed poetry and music sometimes linear as this is sometimes not .Can it be reckoned with by an audience in the concert hall ? The final pages are so ruminative yet it makes sense at the end of the journey . I prefer excitement of Scriabin 5 for concert hall . I think a multitude of directions have been taken in incommunicability in music this last century . Not sure about this or New Complexity or a lot of music I have devoted myself too . Mozart's string quintets never bore but one needs a difference that german living composer Georg Haas and Elliott Carter are just too far out for most !
I kinda disagree that mozart never bores; it's the exact reason I prefer this kind of music.
I know what you mean.We need music that approaches how we live in the 20th and 21st century. BolcolmVine,Wuorinen etc. It's all necessary. On 2nd listen I find this music very communicative. The piano writing is not as inventive as Scriabin is from as early as the first prelude we etudes but I must find more from this composer.
Been wanting to revisit this, but still find it quite uninteresting, prefer the Preludes much more.

A me non viene in mente scriabin..
Sabaneyev ha uno stile che ricade molto più sul tetro e il funebre che sull'estasi cosmica di Scriabin.
So awful music as all Scriabin's one is...
