This is incredible music played superbly. Really, quite incredible. Bortky deserves more formal exposure such as this. The Fantasy is my favorite of the Scriabin "sonatas" and certainly in my top three of music for piano of all time. One Of those "bucket list" pieces. Congrats and again, outstanding performance.

The Fantasy dragged on and on due to:
1) slow tempo
2) poor/non-existent phrasing
3) certain parts sounded like doodling at the keys (related to 1)

Prelude:
1) unsteady tempo sounded erratic
2) too many hesitations
3) too slow
