[fred smalls]

Yeah. Does anyone know where, how much, how many exist and what pieces (his own, etc...)? 
I really wanna hear some and I've heard they exist soooo......

Appreciate the help

Sorry Mike.  Urgh. I'm soooo dumb...
I meant to say Recordings of Scriabin himself, I'll change that...


EDIT:  O yeah, I have that recording your talking about my the way.  Yup, every single prelude, I like the way he plays them too!  Name is...

 I was reluctant to buy the cds at first (no Scriabin cds here in Victoria BC cept Naxos) but it really turned out to be a good find.

They exist yeah, I talked with some people who had some, on CD, but good luck to find them

You can find samples on amazon.

I think they are piano rolls, poor quality. And the playing itself didn't impress me. It seemed unclear, strange. But it were piano rolls so its impossible to try to judge fairly.

I own three recordings:

1- "Horowitz Plays Scriabin"

2- "The Complete Piano Sonatas" with Marc Hamelin

3-  "Piano Concerto and Prometheus" NAXOS


I really like all of them.

I have:

Complete piano sonatas - Ruth Laredo set
Complete piano sonatas - Ashkenazy set
Piano Concerto, Prometheus - (Boulez, I think)
Poem of Ecstasy, Divine Poeme - (I think Pletnev)

The Laredo and Ashkenazy sets actually come with a few miscellaneous Scriabin piano works.  These are all very nice, except that on the Boulez disc he also includes a strange interpretation of the Poeme of Ecstasy.  It's very muddled and thick sounding and way, way under tempo.

  Actually the piano rolls are of a rather good quality, and the playing is fantastic, shows what an wonderfully flexible rhythmic sense he must have possessed.
