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

I think a lot of the music by composers who were considered too "conservative", whatever that means, is much underplayed and underrated. One example that comes to mind is Samuel Barber.

I think those are on the other side of the spectrum are more underplayed and overrated. The conservatives, Samuel Barber especially, are played a lot more than you think. Xenakis may not be the greatest composer around, but he is not played (well) by many artists, despite the fact that he has some great works. Erikthon and Keqrops are two examples of piano/orchestra pieces that I would call great.

It's not so much that he's underplayed, it's that he's accused of being conservative when anyone with a decent knowledge of music can see/hear that he is far from it.

I've honestly never heard Xenakis called a conservative. It would just seem stupid.

I was referring to Barber, not Xenakis.

Unfortunately, I have contacted the company that claimed to have the work in stock and they inform me that it is now only available for hire from the publishing company.  I've also contacted a university library.  They seem to have the score, but it is part of their special collection.  I am waiting for them to respond.
