Cristina Ortiz: Cyril Scott - Lotus Land (1997)

[@DanyaYuvachev]

Спасибо исполнителю, что не сделала глиссандо одним пальцем, а сыграла по-человечески! Браво.

Thank u layers of fear for this masterpiece

[@mannyb4265]

She plays every key in that glissando, instead of dragging her knuckles like the rest if them. Wow!

[@Tchristman100]

Yes the advantage of small female fingers. I couldn't dream of doing that (yes I play Lotus Land_.

[@MJE112358132134]

Why wouldn't larger, male hands be able to play the keys normally in place of the glissando? My hands probably fit that category, but I can't see why I wouldn't be able to play the notes the way Cristina Ortiz does.

[@marinadela1361]

When I play this piece, it's exactly how I play the glissando part as well. It sounds so much better and is a lot more comfortable for the fingers.

[@drjukebox]

This is one fantastic piece of music played with passion

[@TorsvanTraven]

La Ortíz plays this piece as no one before has done, a quiet storm, beautiful. She surpasses Scott's own playing of it... He seemed to be a bit distant from this early masterpiece. May it be that he came to that recording seeking to apply " discipline" to it? Adore so much the Cyril Scott advanced most of all composers for piano of his day. And Ms Ortíz, i salute you and send you love

Beautifully played!

[@franciscomogrovejo3830]

Notas contagiadas de Debussy y de Satie, esas brumas misteriosas, propias de personas intensas. Magnífica

[@ЯнинаЦарева]

Потрясающее исполнение! Очень тонко, прочувствовано, прослушанно. Спасибо!

[@Tchristman100]

You should listen to the original recording of Cyril Scott himself playing Lotus Land-DRASTICALLY different. She plays well but so far from what the composer played.

[@jessesouzapianist]

but no one pianist play Scriabin like he played

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

And? Music evolves esp coming from the greats - it doesn't diminish his original nor does the modern interpretation mean any less because its different in some way from the original - both should be welcomed and played. I prefer the moody ethereal air the slower tempo gives to be honest, feels more emotionally charged.

[@just_ryan_no_b]

Cyril probably did some improv in his recording. Ive never seen any sheet music for anything other than what Christina played here.

[@drjukebox]

Well that's interesting. How perspectives change. How would Scott play it today, had he been alive?

[@Tchristman100]

Maravilha.

[@ninadasilva1867]

Ortiz plays well as always. The music is pretentious tripe.
