Well it's only no.1 at the moment, the rest to follow later in the week. This first one was recorded about a week ago, it's since been improved a bit. I'll be performing the whole set soon, so I'd welcome any comments or suggestions.
The recording quality isn't that good but it's listenable (done at home on a cheap Samson mic).
I like the interpretation on the whole. Your tempo and phrasing is well judged and sensuous, rather similar to the way I play it myself. The feeling I get from this piece is a kind of sensuousness, even erotic feeling, mixed with a tinge of brooding melancholy. What is the feeling you get from it?
One minor comment is that I thought you could be a bit more lush in your pedalling. I felt that you lift the pedal a bit too soon at the end of each bar, thus resulting in the third note of the middle voice in each bar being cut off prematurely. As lostinidlewonder has said, you could draw out that middle voice a little more, and one way to do that is by keeping the notes more sustained. Do not be afriad to let the sounds blend into each other. As long as your touch on the melodic notes are firm, the tones should be able to penetrate through the pedalled haze. You could for example, hold on to the right pedal until a split second into the start of the following bar, before lifting off.
Additionally, a little more dynamic range could be used, although I'm not sure if there's dynamcic compression because of the recording equipment used. For example in bar 7, where Scriabin indicates mezzo forte, could be louder than in bar 3, where it is marked piano. One suggestion could be to use a little left pedal from bar 3 to 6, then lift it off at bar 7. At bar 11, again, the "echo" voice at the top register (A# G# A#) is marked pianissimo, as opposed to piano on the lower register, but that contrast is insufficient in your recording, in my view. Again, some creative use of the left and right pedals could create interesting effects here.
Overall though, well done! Let us hear the other preludes when you are done
