Scriabin: Prometheus, op.60 - 2-piano version.
on: October 28, 2009, 11:28:25 PM
I just discovered this today, and it might be common knowledge, but for anyone interested I'm attaching the full 2-piano version of Prometheus, transcribed by L. Sabaneiw. It looks interesting to me, and I'm one of those rare birds who delight in piano transcriptions of great orchestral music (often to the scorn of professorial types who wallow in the transcendent art of orchestration (which I too admire greatly)). So be it Beethoven symphonies, Berlioz Fantastique, Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra", Scriabin's 4th and 5th symphonies, etc they all have a place in my library. Note: I do have a video of the 2-piano w/trumpet solo version performance of the 4th Symphony "Poeme d'exlaxity", which I must admit is a bit strange, possibly due to the somewhat disturbed trumpet soloist (don't know who the performers are off hand).

Enjoy,  ;)
