Is it Sofronitsky? Or ? Or Horowitz? Or anyone else?
In my view, it’s Sofro…
Wadya think? Randomly, is there any living pianist (other than da Sock) who is a really great Scriabin player? Are there any newer recordings in particular which one should hear?
Eckardstein is one of the best of the young crop… imo. And he’s even better live than on his CD.
The best of all time would have to be Sofronitsky, Feinberg, Richter… Horowitz, Sokolov and Neuhaus are great too, but I feel like they didn’t record enough to give me a full picture of their Scrib playing.
There are also some great Scriabin recs by the likes of Zhukov, Freire, Fiorentino, Villa, Nikonovich, Oborin, Scherbakov, Gilels etc.
TAE KON BØ is a new name for me, have to explore his recs …
I did not know that Eckardstein plays Scriabin, but I really liked everything I have heard by him so far
I also love Sofronitsky, Richter and Sokolov.
Another favourite of mine is Igor Shukow.
He made a late recording on the small label Telos.
What is your opinion about his reading?
