Bach Goldberg by Feltsman incredible spontaneous almost improvised playings after the end of the Soviet empire in his first invitation to Moscow ... A top level Bach lesson in pure joy ...Gould is mannerism compared to it ...
For Strings trio , the Sitkovetsky transcription is a treasure ...
Scriabin by Sofronitsky or Zhukov ...The low cost version of integral by Michael Ponti is the only non Russian version i admired but the sound is horrible ...Try it at low cost if sound matter less than music ... I love him ...This version is unique but does not compared to Sofronitsky, nothing compared anyway ... It takes more than great pianist to play Scriabin, i tried them all 😁 ...
Most great names are unable to play it because the time dimension in Scriabin is indecipherable linearly ... Scriabin dont play in the linear time dimension ...This is why Scriabin is one of the greatest musician adding something that dont exist in Bach ...Schonberg is under Scriabin genius for me not above , but Schonberg too with is mathematical recipe quit linear time ...Scriabin never used a recipe or a formula to create an artificial new world, he created without quitting the human heart with an artefact as Schonberg did ...
Scriabin is like Gesualdo or Purcell , an island of its own ....
@mahgister +1 But which recordings of Bach Goldberg Variations and Scriabin piano sonatas?
