A long time in the making. Can't stop playing this. Time to learn the other movements for the full set!

Alexander Scriabin - Piano Sonata No. 3 in F-Sharp Minor, Op. 23: III. Andante

A very dark, strange, mysterious piece, although one of my favorites by the 20th century Russian composer, Alexander Scriabin. 

This was recorded October of 2013 on a Hamburg Steinway piano.

Alexander Scriabin - Piano Sonata No 5 in F sharp Op 53

New England Conservatory pianist Tsotne Tsotskhalashvili  performs Scriabin: Sonata for Piano no 1 in F minor, Op. 6  Recorded live in Jordan Hall, January 29, 2015.

2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the death of composer Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915). Scriabin's music is heard today primarily at the keyboard - his ten piano sonatas and hundreds of preludes, etudes, and "poems," many of them bearing titles, are numerically the bulk of his output.

Because of the size of this body of work, it closely tracks the evolution of a musical language. Scriabin's earliest works display Chopin's influence in their romantic melodies. Late works anticipate the twelve-tone revolution soon to come - but with a basis in mysticism rather than mathematics.

In the concert this recording came from, NEC piano students performed all ten of the sonatas. The listener was taken on a speedy trip through the evolving sound of piano music in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the personal journey of a romantic visionary.
