He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more

Not particularly.  He even fumbled an easy question on spicks and specks ;D.  He's apparently in boston now studying Jazz piano.

He seems very energetic at the piano and a funny character.

I haven't heard him play a lot but what I heard seemed like he was playing in a concerto - a bit too much projection which sounded like banging - very pianistic approach to making music.
