Skryabin: Concerto for piano in F#m; Symphony No5
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
When Alexander Scriabin composed his Prometheus, Poem of Fire in 1910, it was all the rage to make works of art that sought to solve every global problem through artistic uplift. And while you could easily expect such a premise to urge a populist work with only digestible parts, Scriabin presented the complicated, gnashed, 20-minute Prometheus. As an early prodigy on piano, Scriabin discovered his big-piece compositional knack only after establishing himself with accomplished, popular études. This collection is a far cry from those and the other easily assimilated Chopin-inspired works he wrote earlier in his career. There are gobs of tension here and circuitous, sometimes jutting rhythms that make the pieces electric with color and energy. The Piano Concerto, Op. 20, and the Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra defy the overt challenges of Prometheus, and Viktoria Postnikova does a brilliant job with their more standard pianism and 19th-century elements, which all seem very, very subdued after Postnikova's white-knuckle ride through the de facto main course of this CD. --Andrew Bartlett

A must for Scriabin lovers - the concerto in particular is really convincing, the slow movement taking you off to where Scriabin no doubt intended. Do buy it!

Refreshing New Insights.......2004-07-14
I just heard this version of Tchaikovsky`s first piano concerto broadcasted on a local cultural radio station. After Argerich / Kondarchin, Richter / Karajan and many more, this is a Refreshing version with New Insights, both, on the piano side and also on the orchestra side, other instruments contribute, on their solo moments, to a common beauty.
GREAT!!.......2001-05-23
This CD is too good for words....Buy it immediately. If you dont know the Scriabin concerto.......you dont know what you are missing........its Gorgeous!!
