I listened to the live Horowitz recording of Scriabin Sonata 5 and am convinced it iz one of the greatest pieces evah written 4 da 88.

nevah lyked da 5th. Mah least fav of da sonataz. da first n 8th iz da best
Richter’s no 5 owns Horowitz’s imo. Horowitz is too quirky and his tech is a bit weaker than Richter’s.
Plus, nobody quite handles those leaps as well as Richter.
What do you not like about it?

Richter’s is a bit HOLY FUCKING SHIT How he dives into the coda is just shit in yo pants.
But I guess I prefer Vlad’s quirkyness.
Vlad, Richter, Sofro and Feinberg are MUST hear recs of this sonata.
This is also probably one of my fav 88 pieces :scrib:

Gould’s Scriabin 5 > Richter’s
U iz pulling me leg, right? Do u have a record of it you can upload?
Gould did record the 3rd and 5th sonata. i have only heard the 5th. its not bad, but it is just to slow for this piece so it isnt as emotional as it could be.

I was kidding. Gould’s Scriabin 5 is alright. Richter’s is definitely more exciting. Gould’s is only interesting for his refusal to play ‘hyper-virtuosically’. Everything is really clean, but Gould also obnoxiously avoids/ignores lots of Scriabin’s markings.
However, Gould’s Scriabin 3 is brilliantly conceived (and the slow mvt is GORGEOUS).
But as far as I’m concerned, Horowitz is undisputed master of 5 and thus totally owns it.
Randomly, here is the Scriabin that Gould recorded:
mostly da sound of it
