Scriabin Preludes

[the_technicalman]

I recently went to a fabulous performance including Scriabin's breathtaking op.15 preludes. The beautifully judged, perfectly weighted miniatures sparkled against one another. I was wondering which set of preludes are you're favorites and why you think so.

I do share your appreciation for the Scriabin preludes, from here to about Op 52, and his Op 65 etudes, are my favorite works of his.

his infusion of a jazz idiom into classical forms is brilliant. the man is a genius. absolutely obsessed with his sound. super complex rhythms, lush harmonies. man i must give these a listen from front to back again, it's been a few months since i went through the whole set.
