It's been years since I last heard these impromptus, as pianists seem to gravitate mostly to  Scriabin's preludes, etudes, poemes, and sonatas.  Your playing is very intense, spirited, and sympathetic to the intent of the composer.  And it's immediately obvious in your playing that you have a strong affinity to this music.  I believe you bring out the character of these four pieces very well.  I enjoyed listening.  Thanks for posting these seldom heard compositions.

Thank you Rach!

I'm still not sure about many of the details in these impromptus, but that's the good point in playing this kind of pieces: I always feel free to experiment, having only the score as a guide and not the interpretation of another pianist, however great or famous he might be.
 
I wish some more people will be interested in playing these Impromptus.
