Evgeni Bozhanov. Alexander Scriabin Valse op.38 As dur

[@duxlee]

A piece made for Bozhanov

[@gwatts12]

That's the way he plays. He owns the music just as if it is flowing out of him spontaneously. He is a genius.

The Horowitz of our time!!

I've heard this piece for the first time in Evgeni's performance, a few years ago. I hadn't yet opened my ears for Scriabin, and so it didn't make a lasting impression on me, especially since I was more interested in his Chopin at the time. But I've been obsessed with Scriabin recently. I revisited this performance of the Valse op. 38, comparing it to many others and it is to my surprise (or pretty much expected actually) that he's the only pianist who is able to extract the true essence of this piece the way I feel it myself. In my opinion he's the only one who's playing it like a waltz, it makes you wanna dance and dream at the same time. Bozhanov is a true genius! I hope we will hear more Scriabin from him.

Great comment, Bozhanov's rendition is a whole world unto itself.

Like you I've obsessed over this piece in particular, partly through learning it myself. The trouble is that even the great Scriabinists struggle with consistent interpretation - Zhukov, for example, is excellent everywhere else, but gets a bit lost here. However, I've recently discovered Eva Gevorgyan playing this when she was 15. Astounding. Still not quite how I play the thing (at least, not anywhere near as badly!) but really impressive and much more of a Waltz that most, which is what I find missing from so many who attempt this. I have to say this is the single most difficult piece to interpret that I have played. And I've played quite a bit of Scriabin.

What a great artist is Bozhanov!!! Unique tone. I am mesmerized by his playing.

[@angramainiuu]

Feels like I'm dreaming in ecstasy. Why am I crying though?

[@williamhicks2299]

This is some of the greatest, most beautiful playing I ever heard!

[@jwilliams8210]

That was superb!

[@ganjamozart1435]

One of those rare recordings that stand head and shoulders above the rest. His colour is astonishing.
