Last Friday, I was lucky enough to see Sokolov play Scriabin's tenth sonata, it was a truly transcendental performance. The bass notes in the first theme were played with such a delicacy, the harmonies this created were pure bliss...
The next day, i listened to Ashkazy's recording and I was, erm, mildly disappointed. The sound of this Decca recording is just awful. The trills (and the high register in general) sound as if Vlad was having some fun with (saucepan) lids, and the sound is blurred and bangy.
Now... My question: what's your favourite recording of the tenth and of Scriabin's sonatas in general?
I already have Pletnev's CD (sonata #10 with the préludes op 11 etc) and Volodos' (Carnegie Hall) but even these interpetations are dwarfed by Sokolov. (NB as far as I know he's only released sonata #3). |

want to hear your opinions
which performance is the best for each sonata?
i have the hamelin set which is excellent and some richter recordings.
i have the ashkenzy set too but i think he plays is poorly both techincally and musically.
richter is also superb at scriabin.. especially at the 2,9 sonatas.
now... what's your opinions? |

HE WROTE THE BEST PIANO SONATAS! (After beethoven)
the most gothic and atmopheric preludes
he had dark romantic style and a total new tonality and structure
he is underrated here
comeon!
