Very clear playing.

I think you need to smooth out your transitions between sections. A couple of bars before the "avec une emotion naissante" you're playing at a mF but once you enter the section, you suddenly drop down to pp. There's a decrescendo written in the bars preceeding the "naissante" part, you should probably drop down to p or pp there, and then make the following section "be born" out of the previous.

A few measures later, he marks "avec une joie voilee" - with veiled passion - I think you're playing too clearly here. "Veil" it with some una corda, make it sound hazy and smokey.

When you arrive the quasi-tremolo figures, it's marked "Eclatant, lumineux." Where is your fire here? Your dynamic doesn't really change much from the previous section here-on to the end. No offence, but your depiction of the flames is kind of lukewarm. You've got all the notes down, now just give it some passion and fire!

Incredibly clear.  Great espressive range.  Perfect!  Sounds as though it was recorded in a professional studio.  Was it?  Are you pro?

Very good dude ! This piece is very hard, how easy it may sound. And this piece is simply just SO beautiful.

I love Scriabin's music and I think you play this piece very well, although I know it's very difficult to play Well done

Thank you all very much for your comments - they are much appreciated!  To answer a couple of the questions - the recording was done at Dallas Sound Lab in Dallas, Texas, a very good professional studio.  I am am a mere humble amateur (but who spends a lot of time practicing).  Thanks again.
