The performances almost make them appear to be different works when compared to other renditions that I have. I even thought my CD player was skipping, it seemed so different. 😧
Maybe you don't like it, but I think they used to call that "interpretation". Unless you have your score in hand and you catch the musician actually ignoring what is written, "making them appear to be different works" is not necessarily bad.
But I must add that for some years that was the only Scriabin piano recording that I had and just couldn't get into the music until I listened to other versions, so you may be onto something there...
Unfortunately, my second version, the one that sold me on Scriabin, was Szidon's, which is commonly reputed to be even worse, so my credentials are far from impeccable...
