That's Elena Richter (who she? There's a comment in the youtube saying she studied with Neuhaus.) I really like the way she uses resonances in the later sonatas.

This source - written in what might be called "Russlish" - says she was born in 1938 in Russia:

Started the week with melancholic Scriabin. Bluesy.

Igor Zhukov - Scriabin and Chopin Preludes, Live in Germany 1996. A little dry?

To those who are interested, a YT list for Zhukov's album is below.

Many thanks for the link!

As a result of your link, this popped up: Rachmaninoff plays Scriabin!

The sound is decent for 1929!

This is a really good interpretation. I might even agree with the people in the comments that Scriabin was a better composer than Rachmaninoff

Incredible* GMG Member Todd and his Beethoven Complete Sonatas Project made me wonder about your favorite performances of complete Scriabin Piano Sonatas.


My top 2: Michael Ponti and Maria Lettberg.

I must find the Vladimir Horowitz performances:

"...Horowitz's father was a close associate of Scriabin's, and this opened the door for Horowitz into a world that would remain his for the rest of his performing career.

Scriabin described the young pianist as very gifted. Horowitz was viewed by many as the single most accomplished pianist to interpret and perform the works of Scriabin. (His three-disc set remastered and released by Sony of the Scriabin recordings is well worth listening to)....

* Todd owns well over 100 CD-sets of complete cycles of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas.

For the complete, I only have Vladimir Ashkenazy on Decca and have yet to be let down by it, but I would love to hear others.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Zhukov and Szidon.

Here is Vladimir Ashkenazy in the Ninth Sonata:

Vestard Shimkus Sonata 8

[Mandryka]

Roger Woodward. Impressive sonata 6 - and particularly imaginative to play it followed attacca by the three op 65 etudes (which are also played attacca) 

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Sonatas 5&6 - Yakov Kasman.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Sonata 4, Sergio Florentino.

[San Antone]

For the complete, I only have Vladimir Ashkenazy on Decca and have yet to be let down by it, but I would love to hear others.

I like Ruth Laredo.

I like Ruth Laredo.

I'm no expert in this repertoire, and do not listen to Scriabin that often, but I too like Ms. Laredo's set.
