Customer Reviews

Rather Shallow Scriabin3

I greatly admire Pletnev's brilliant recordings of Scarlatti, Beethoven variations, C.P Bach, Chopin, Liszt etc, but his Scriabin is a real letdown. His playing does not lack delicacy and poetry and Preludes are played beautifully with his usual fluency, but it sounds rahter prosaic. As for sonatas and late works, he completely fails to capture the sense of mystery, etherial beauty and spirit of the music. (For example, the opening 2 pages of 4th sonata can never match the miraculously fragile performance by Sofronitsky.)

If you are after Scriabin played with real depth and spiritual force, you must listen to Sofronitsky, Richter and Horowitz. Then you will know how shallow Pletnev's interpretation is.
