Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. 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

Horowitz not even touched Schubert and scarcely Beethoven perhaps.
Poor repertoire.
Richter, the box, the poet, the mystic, the virtues,... he could do everything in a staggering personal way. As I said on his Schubert recordings.

Better question. Richter or Gilels, another tower genius. But still Richter on top...
Sad he did not deliver a Rach 3, or Prok 2 or 3.... But he had his reasons for sure.

Nobody surpassed him.

All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
