Without making us forget the legendary Vladimir Sofronitsky (we are in the process of compiling and remastering his best Scriabin recordings to present them to you), Joseph Villa was not one of Claudio Arrau's last pupils without reason. Like his master, his pianistic touch is of infinite poetry. His technique is terrific, and his palette of expression and sonorities are of a permanent creativity. He was supposed to record the complete works of Scriabin, but these two hours of recordings allow us to measure the extent of his talent. We begin to enter Scriabin's world through the easy door with poems and short pieces. Then the Mazurkas, easily accessible, take over. Finally, the etudes begin to reveal the world of maturity of the Scriabinian world to finally give way to the sonatas, a universe where the exploration is endless.

I'm so moved to find this on KZbin which helps make this incredibly gifted artist live on. I was a close friend of Joseph and this recording was done on my piano, NY Steinway & Sons, Concert Grand, "CD-226" (serial #345281, case # J-1399, circa 1954) here in New York City, at The Church of the Holy Trinity, 316 East 88th Street. After the Liszt albums, which were recorded in my tiny apartment, we decided to move my piano up to this far more suitable place for such an undertaking. To no surprise to those who knew him, these were all done in one take with no piecing and splicing together, as is often done. Only an outside force, such as wailing siren would cause a retake. I miss Joseph, taken away far too soon.

[@ThePianoFiles]

I am incredibly grateful that you have put all of these online! I was friends with this great artist in his last few years, completely in awe of him (as were many) and sadly aware of his impending departure... I've put a long tribute to him on my website and will add this link to it - thank you very much for this!

[@classicalmusicreference]

We have added our link to our introduction comment :)

[@ThePianoFiles]

@@classicalmusicreference Thank you SO much! The moment I heard his playing in 1991 I was committed to doing what I could to help him reach as wide an audience as possible, and I have continued to do so after his passing with the gracious support of his partner and other friends. I am so glad that the internet has made it possible for his playing to reach such a wide audience, something that was not possible when cassettes had to go from person to person... Thank you again for this great upload!

[@kpokpojiji]

Joe was ny teacher at UCONN. Always available for his students, and many times he would pop into my practice room unannounced, with some insight or thought on the music, or he would play through something for me. Cherished memories of a great artist and a truly generous human being.❤❤❤

[@bfposner]

One of the great Scriabin players.

[@hannawagenknecht6378]

Das sind Seelenblicke,einfach schön ,das freut mich sehr,das Zuhören.

[@staccato1975]

Thanks for the excellent hommage to Joseph Villa, which I didn't know and is certainly a genius. If you are interested in another exceptional pianist which recorded many of Scriabin's piano works, I can recommend Ruth Laredo. She was the first pianist to record the whole Scriabin cicle of sonatas, or so claims Connoisseur Society, and also recorded preludes, etudes, poems... She also recorded the complete solo piano works of Rachmaninoff for CBS MAsterworks label.

[@thomgeo8073]

Alexander Scriabin + Joseph Villa = Happiness ! Tank you very much!

[@angkhangnguyen5017]

this album balances between the middle period and the late period pieces really well

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"

[@michaelyannette579]

Wow! These are just unbelievably gorgeous interpretations. What a tremendous artist was Joseph Villa! Beyond stunning! Thank you for posting these!

[@WarinPartita6]

Big thanks for sharing this much underrated artist’s rendition. I always adore JV, eg. the Chopin mazurka recordings. Too bad his musical legacy was cut short by an untimely death. RIP, wonderful maestro!

a most wonderful way to celebrate the 150th anniversary of scriabin!

[@mbessendorf5426]

Боже, какая удивительная музыка!

[@alanbash2921]

A Genius Pianist ....

[@mysterium364]

Smarter than the composer apparently. So many added notes in the sonatas.

[@EddieJazzFan]

Always superior sound & performances on this channel. Thanks.

[@jasonclark901]

Glorious playing in the early Mazurkas, with tasteful use of rubato throughout, and forceful climaxes.

[@user-on5lb9ew9x]

Thank you for the presented beauty !!! BRAVO!!!

Beautiful. Thank you.

Wonderful performance

[@pianomasters3752]

Wow ! Thank you very much !

[@h-mh93]

Delightful! Would it be possible for your fine channel to feature this extraordinary pianist with other works maybe??? Thank you so much!

[@nihilistlemon1995]

That was an unexpected great surprise that you enjoy Villa too . Although personally I think Berman is way above in the etudes , Villa does shine in for example the 7th sonata

[@luisdiazlopez3712]

Scriabin no llegó a escribir su obra Prometeo, proyecto que comprendía un juego de luces, para lo cual hizo fabricar un órgano que producía luces de colores. Planeó escribir una ópera filosófica que iba a titular Mysterium y que uniría la música, la danza, la poesía, los juegos de luces de colores y los perfumes. Tal vez no haya habido otro compositor tan imaginativo como él, que combinase la sensualidad con el misticismo; en este sentido influyó en Szymanowski y en Messiaen. Hermann Hesse, en un poema del apéndice de El Juego de los Abalorios trae uno que se llama Ensueño. El poeta se aloja en un monasterio entre montañas, llegada la noche, cuando los monjes se fueron a rezar sus oraciones, él se fue a la biblioteca, la Biblioteca del Paraíso. se dice a sí mismo, en donde ve libros maravillosos: uno llamado De Como Adán Comió También Fruta de Otro Árbol, otro sobre la Correlación Entre el Sentido de los Colores y el de los Sonidos,, en donde se demuestra cómo cada tono musical es una réplica a cada color, a cada refracción de los colores. Solo escuchamos a Joseph Villa en este album, no lo vemos tocar, pero en las primeras obras se advierte que su poético toucher recuerda al de Arrau.

[@Piflaser]

Villa died on April 13, 1995, aged 46, at Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center in Greenwich Village. The cause was AIDS, said Steven Gray, his companion.

Wonderful playing by Joseph. There is also a very good recording of Earl Wild playing the 4th Sonata on his last recording at the age of 89 !!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqGxpoOretigpaM

I remember Chick Corea

[@Piflaser]

He was good too, bit in a different way.
