Alexander Scriabin - Piano Sonata No.9, Op.68 "Black Mass" (Bakk)

[@garklein8089]

I looked into the pianist, and found this great quote from an article: > But no one - not even Horowitz or Sviatoslav Richter - could have played Scriabin’s Sonata No. 9 (“Black Mass”) better. > Even on an inadequate piano, Bakk took a listener on a whirlwind trip through Satan’s palace, Pandemonium. Abandon and intensity - the music seemed made up on the spot - were coupled with imperious control. > “I know what I’m doing, but I never know what I’m going to do,” Bakk says of his spontaneous playing. I need to listen to more of this guy!

Bakk's playing always breaks through the imagination, incredible recordings!

Piano competitions usually punish these unusual and original interpretations, they should make one about about these types of interpretations where you are not just spitting notes out, but merging and interacting with the music

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS RECORDING. Even though some notes or passages are unclear, probably due to the quality of the recording itself, it is so clear in the sound that he -Bakk- (MAN THE RUBATO) (and it -the music itself, thanks Scriabin-) makes, and in the intention ‘they’ want to convey that, my God, this is beyond -mystically- beautiful and -mystically- creepy. Thank you for sharing with us this gem et masterpiece!

The most unhinged, demonic performance of this I've heard. Thanks for sharing!
