Bravo Roberto! Really thrilling performance.

Wonderful

Strepitoso! ! ! 👏

This performance outshines even Richter’s and Horowitz’s wonderful performances of this piece, IMO. He creates the illusion of melody floating over clouds-as if time were ever building, but standing still. It’s the superb voicing, and the one continuous arch.

[@thebrygi1648]

I agree. Horowitz feels a little too rigid for a piece like this in some sections

[@mysterium364]

Richter still has the best live recording in my book.

You should listen to zhukov's recording, it is amazing

[@mysterium364]

@@yekware Zhukov gets a lot of love for his Scriabin, but yet not enough love. In my opinion, If Neuhaus had been able to pull this off with less mistakes, it would be the best out there kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3TEn5ibj6uDjdE. The stylistic choices and the overall "energy" of the piece are perfect. As it is, I prefer Zhukov's recording because he played it without so many mistakes.

Incredible!

Bravo!

Dude forgot there's a fermata on the last note.

Beautiful performance, but I would’ve preferred if he had taken more time towards the end.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Wonderful performance. If we do nothing about global warming Scriabin may have been correct.

[@dicksdiggers]

we can't do anything about global 'warming' (I thought you guys called it climate change just a few years ago?), as it's a natural process. breaking people's backs with even more ridiculous taxes will not change this simple fact.

[@iainlay1913]

This piece is related to scriabins interest in theosophy. Towards the flame (of knowledge).

[@wip1664]

Sounds pretty, but macabre. There is no tragedy, but no intimacy either. Horowitz had intimacy. But he was not the fallen hero.

Amazing perfomance!!
