Scriabin

thank you! Listening now on youtube, first thought is that the performance is much clearer than others I've heard. Sofronitsky really takes time to make each note audible, and with this music, I think that helps. I haven't actually looked at much Scriabin sheet music, but rhythmically, it seems all over the place, almost sounding improvised at times. Wonder how much is left to the performer.

Redirect from here. . .

Turns out, I have three Scriabin albums that I've not played in at least a decade. They are this one, this one, and this one (the two with the "psychedelic" covers indicate that they were, "Newly recorded in the USSR" — talk about a totally obsolete cover).

I've got some Schubert on my plate right now, but I will be checking back in after I get these on the turntable for some thoughts.
