We just established in November “Alexander Scriabin Society of Croatia” and I became responsible for leading it’s Facebook & Instagram profiles, among other things. If you guys have some rare photos of Scriabin, good articles or books, I would be very interested! @Dr.TM looking forward to your Scriabin thesis.
We have support and friendship from Alexander Serafimovich Scriabin, Scriabin’s grandson, who is our honorary president. He’s very active and dedicated his life in promoting Scriabin’s legacy. Also, he’s very good friend of ex Croatian ambassador in Moscow and visits Croatia almost every year. He’ll come in May and we have some plans to organizes concerts and lectures.
For my recording preferences - as usual. I adore almost everything Richter, Horowitz and Sofronitsky played, plus Zhukov, Pletnev (the best op. 11 preludes I’ve heard live), Pogorelich (Sonatas 2 & 4, Poems op. 32), Gilels (Sonatas 1, 3, 4, Preludes op. 74) Sokolov, Volodos, Korobeinikov (great complete etudes), Trifonov (recent Scriabin program) etc.
John Bell Young used to run a Scriabin Society, which he tried to turn into an intellectual cult, and it resulted in a pissing match between him and the official Scriabin Society. But the dude knew his Scriabin and could play him very well too.
JBY was a really weird dude though.
I’m not a fan of Lisitsa, but his behaviour towards her was disgusting.
I like da small Songz da bezt and diz my favorite
Wut a niggah da HO wuz!
Totally. Even worse is what he did to Farhan Malik.
He used to threaten people on usenet as well whenever they dared disagree with him. After 9/11, after getting into a series of arguments with Farhan Malik, he called the federal government on Farhan, reporting him as a suspected terrorist. Caused poor Farhan all sorts of grief.
My favourite Scriabin performers are Samuel Feinberg, father & son Neuhaus, Horowitz and more recently Joseph Villa.
JBY was a total asshole, a psychopath.
He was a self-declared “Scriabinist”, admittedly his purple prose was sometimes fascinating to read but I often doubted his views and tastes.
I remember he raved about a certain Matthew Bengtson and his Scriabin recordings. Apparently he (Bengtson) also co-authored a book about Scriabin:
Tru, and da FEINBERG
Tru, it will cummah
Da TM fave Scrib is da early period (until da 3rd Son) and da late period works (op 59 n after)
Da Scrib Son 5, tho belonging to da middle period, is a forward-looking zheeyat n I luv it
Scrib 4 is a classic, but I’ve somewhat cooled on it. Da Feinberg Rec is wonderful
