I know exactly what you mean... This recording opened my eyes to the real power behind this piece; every moment where people "traditionally" linger he seems to blaze through with a mission, and odd moments where I haven't heard a pause he gives little breaths of time. All in all, almost a manifesto in how to play powerfully and delicately at the same time, and with a rhythmic drive that I've almost never heard before.

So many pianists have reduced this magnificent etude to a show piece. It is so much more than just an etude. Scriabin 's tribute to his idol, Chopin, has a huge stretch for the left hand like Chopin's Prelude OP 28 /24 and the emotive exigency of the revolutionary etude, Op 10/12 in the right hand. It's a brilliant piece and should be played with the reverence it deserves. The composer certainly performed it with a heartfelt intensity.

I have a number of Scriabin's piano roll performances in several CD compilations, but not all that were (apparently) recorded. They are truly revelatory. It was said his fingers moved over the keyboard like a spider on a web. In spite of the awesome difficulties, he plays with utter freedom--amazing. Igor Zhukov has based his interpretations on thorough study of these rolls, and can evoke them wonderfully.

Yes - it uproots you and makes you revise your notions of music. Romantic form is very untidy. A piece of music derived from the great churning sea of the void through a process of inspiration, is cognate with a poem obtained by a similar process of focussed intuiting. Scriabin's music in this sense is coeval with that of Chopin; but also creatively cognate with romatic poetry of, for example Keats, Mickiewicz, the Georgian poet Baratashivili, or the Nepalese poet Devkota.

When Scriabin's pieces are played in a stylistic and emotionally (controlled passion!) "correct" (if there is any) way, I always get this feeling. I think its just a part of the music. But, because he was such a fantastic pianist, during his "composing" sessions he problably improvised a lot before writing it down!

Never listened Welte-Mignon recordings before; but it's quite surprising. I thought that only Ampico after 1919 could catch the dynamics on piano rolls (I've read somewhere that they invented the "expression recording" but my sources can be wrong). It's possible as well that Welte-Mignon did that before them. I didn't think of piano rolls because all recordings before 1910 I've listened were non-expression rolls.

Yes. Some say he descended into madness toward the end of his life and his music reflected this. It became more dissonant and after writing The Divine Poem he said it was the first time he found light in music. He explored this enlessly and wanted to become "one with the elements" and with the universe. Very intense.
she said scriabin as a pianist was magical and her words: "his hands on the piano looked like spiders weaving", that he really could play his pieces. she showed things especially about his pedalling genius..with different degrees of "depressing" the pedal, to create textures..such as in his 4th sonata and chopin's fantasie in F minor.."he held the pedal down , halfway, while fluttering it continuously, through the last recitative"...she told me.
