Vladimir Sofronitsky plays Scriabin Etudes op. 8 and op. 42 - live 1952

This LP transfer is a very special recording of Vladimir Sofronitsky playing a selection of Scriabin's Etudes from op. 8 and op. 42, live in Leningrad on 30 January 1952. I have not heard him play them this way before or after this recital. For just one example, what he does at 19:00 in op. 8 no. 12 creates an effect of rapid and uncontrollable light shooting out of pitch blackness. He's my favourite pianist of all-time. The photo shows him playing at the Scriabin Museum on 21 December 1947. More info here –
