no. 5 sounded so much like a kapustin i paused work to switch back to scriabin only to see that this was still playing and it didnt autoplay to smth else. that's crazy. scriabin way ahead of his time.
Sonata 4 is another level of music. Wow.
I had a period of obsession with that sonata a few months ago. Peak romanticism. My favorite recording of it is Igor Zhukov.
@@mysterium364 I have one currently lol
@@yekware Based.
The 4th sonata is unbelievably good
@@PieInTheSky9 Currently obsessed with Vers La Flamme. listen to the Zhukov version until you are familiar (very accurate and clear recording) and then listen to the 1951 Heinrich Neuhaus version. It will blow your mind. Also listen to the Richter version. Two different interpretations that I like almost equally. Sofronitsky and Horowitz miss the mark on this one. They both peak too early so the last couple minutes sound kind of monotonous. Horowitz tries to make up for it by adding extra notes and it is honestly a bit obnoxious.
Scriabin is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get. These piano sonatas are very unique.
scriabin refrence
It depends on what box you buy.
Barline: exists
Scriabin: imma start my phrases anywhere else... ok
been returning often to this, she's very consistent & straight with it...... no histrionics, no drug hype, just feeling her way through it, the depths of this music..... seems that women are often the most sensitive interpreters of Scriabin, that they "get" the mystic element of the music...... anyway, thank you Ms. Lettberg, & Le Sheet Music Boi for posting
PS that said: Hamelin (5), Ashkenazy (6), Chernov (8), all great... as for the women, Wang (10) & Koyama's incredible #3..... (all on you tube)..... but at this level, all concert pianists have to possess like an extraterrestial intelligence
Scriabin is one of the truly transcendental geniuses in art music.
My favorites are 4, 5 and 8. Lettberg’s interpretations of Scriabin’s work may be somewhat inaccurate but I think she conjures up some beautiful dark imagery in the beginning of Sonata 8. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Now this is truly an epic Tage moment
First time listening to Scriabin.
His sonata 4 is really nice.
curious about how does this trip continued, almost one year after..?
I have never heard Scriabin played with such delineation of the voices!!
Perfect!
I found sonata 9 to be so intriguing, so curious, like nature and its truth, like unknown things...
Its really a masterpiece
the scriabin 🐐
La sua musica fino alla fantasia è favolosa e non ancora scoperta.... spero io😂😂😂😂😂😂......
So splendid, Scriabin. ❤🌷🌷🌷 (Holland)
All in all very brilliant performances. A few minor quibbles here and there, but I think those might be more interpretative than incorrect readings of the text. In the Eighth sonata Ms. Lettburg glosses over the rests after the descending double-note figures. I much prefer Boris Berman's reading of that sonata, where he is careful to give the pauses their full value. But as I say, these are minor quibbles. All in all I am very glad I bought the excellent set Ms. Lettburg recorded of the complete piano music. The many miniatures that Scriabin wrote are enigmatic and fleeting sketches, packing a great deal of exquisite music into such tiny forms. It saddens me to think that he only lived to be 43. Imagine what he might have accomplished had he lived 20, 15, 10, or even just 5 more years. One of the great tragedies of music. Let us be thankful he composed as much as he did. Another thing I admire about Scriabin is that he only played his own music in recital. And audiences appreciated his music, filling every hall he played in and enthusiastically applauding his genius.
I love how the march before the repeat in the first movement of the 1st sonata is held back - it evokes a huge image!
2:01
Received the complete book of Scriabin's Sonatas for Christmas and am studying the 1st Sonata. My goal will be to achieve Lettberg's clarity and tempo, as Hamelin's is just not attainable (see 3rd Movement).
Fabuloso!!! Muchas gracias por compartir!!!

1:00:00 my favourite part of the 4th sonata
Thanks for doing this one :D
I've had enough of this guy's superficial dilettante persona so I am on a personal venture to seek out every of his actions on youtube and publicly criticize him. Thank you.
THANK YOU
i always loved ashkenazys scriabin sonatas the best
I love you. Thanks for this video
late Scriabin is Wiiiild
This is a wonderful video to have put together, but I am also losing it over describing the 6th sonata as being in G major
@@LeSheetMusicBoi in awe at how wrong wiki is here
what is it actually
@@bozzigmupp510 It's not in any traditional major or minor key, and choices of systems to analysis for it are somewhat questionable- it's got a lot of octatonic-type harmonies, but none that are particularly centered in a given key. One could theoretically analyze it as a chain of extended dominant chords that all have super complex voice leading, but it's kind of an unsatisfactory approach. There are several papers that analyze late Scriabin using a variety of methods, and they all have their pros and cons- but the long and short of it is that sonata 6 is most assuredly not G major
th-cam.com/video/ClZ21jO0e7A/w-d-xo.html
the 10th sonata is c major apparently
Think of it as G-Mystical Major ;)
Great piano works!! And they look extremely difficult to play!! However, they are a pleasure to listen to!! Bravissimo!!
something about the white and black mass sonatas. My ears are telling me that I hate it, but I can't stop listening. There's something so intriguing about it. If only they weren't some of the hardest pieces ever conceived I might actually try one or both.
although they probably are quite hard to interpret id say if you keep practicing you certainly can atleast get it at a technical level
very hard to get through.. i tried the easy bits..
Happy New Year
amazing recording of the 5th - one of the best, I listened to all sorts and this is incredibly precise and really does an excellent job of portraying everything that is written on the score
bravo
i think the recording of the 5th is one of the weaker ones...she certainly didnt play it presto as intended by the score, it lacks fire. But she is not alone with it, others have technical troubles with it too like Anatol Ugorsky.
POGGERS TAGE MOMENT HAPPY NEW BASED YEAR
happy new year everyone!
Great video! I probably would have used Ashkenazy's or Hamelin's cycles instead, but Lettberg is undeniably fantastic at Scriabin as well.
Hamelin does not seem to release as much on TH-cam!
@@JMILESN1 Yes, his record label (Hyperion) forbids it. Still, Ashkenazy 's cycle is fabulous
Haakon Austbo is also great for Scriabin' s Sonatas.
Sofronitzsky is also incredibly amazing as an interpreter of Scriabin’s works. He also married his daughter.
Lol the last sentence sounds wrong out if context
Happy new year!
It's still 2021 dumb PR

I had an idea. "Tasting Scriabin" is a unique sensory fusion where a performance of each of Alexander Scriabin's piano sonatas is paired with a dish that embodies the music's spirit. From an edible oyster shell containing a mix of seafood and fruits that reflect Sonata No.1's pathos, to the exotic fruit sorbet mimicking Sonata No.5's journey towards ecstasy. The dramatic, dark flavors of charcoal-grilled wagyu beef align with Sonata No.9's intense undertones. This exploration heightens appreciation for both music and taste, creating an unforgettable synesthetic experience. Anyone wanna collaborate?
1. Sonata No.1 in F minor, Op. 6: Seafood and seasonal fruits served in an edible oyster shell, symbolizing life's fleeting beauty and inevitable tragedy.
2. Sonata No.2 in G sharp minor, Op. 19 'Sonata Fantasy': A levitating plate of Japanese sashimi, presenting contrasts like the Sonata itself.
3. Sonata No.3 in F sharp minor, Op. 23: A salad of miniature fruits and vegetables, echoing the complex rhythms and diverse notes of the Sonata.
4. Sonata No.4 in F sharp Major, Op. 30: Bioengineered scallop ceviche with herbed seafoam, symbolizing the Sonata's otherworldly serenity.
5. Sonata No.5, Op. 53: An exotic fruit sorbet encased in a shell, a sensory revelation paralleling the Sonata's ecstatic journey.
6. Sonata No.6, Op. 62: Squid ink pasta served in a bioluminescent bowl, capturing the Sonata's dark mystery and haunting luminescence.
7. Sonata No.7, Op. 64 'White Mass': A coconut cloud suspended by magnetism, reflecting the Sonata's transcendental nature.
8. Sonata No.8, Op. 66: Succulent duck confit served on an edible 3D-printed lattice of vegetables, a boundary-pushing dish for an innovative Sonata.
9. Sonata No.9, Op. 68 'Black Mass': Charcoal-grilled wagyu beef on a bed of black quinoa, capturing the Sonata's intense undercurrents.
10. Sonata No.10, Op. 70: A mini chocolate planetarium, each sphere encapsulating an exotic fruit mousse, a triumphant conclusion to our journey through Scriabin's sonatas.
@@tchaffmanBest comment on TH-cam lmao
@@tchaffman Sonata No.10, Op.70 "Insect Sonata": A decadent platter of various live insects and arachnids, creating a captivating textural experience that mirrors the discordant ecstasy of the concluding sonata.
@@Mitesse Lol I've thought the whole thing out at this point: Tasting Scriabin
Scriabin's 10 piano sonatas are an incredible journey through a wide range of emotions, complexity, and musical evolution. Below is a proposed 10-course tasting menu, with each dish reflecting the personality and character of each sonata, progressively amplifying in complexity, and following a tasteful progression from course to course.
Course 1 - Sonata No.1 in F minor, Op. 6: This sonata has a youthful, classical style, yet dramatic in its own way. The first course could be a traditional, elegant dish with a surprising twist: an Amuse-bouche of 'Oysters and Pearls', where the oyster is replaced with a fresh melon ball, providing an unexpected yet refreshing and elegant start.
Course 2 - Sonata No.2 in G sharp minor, Op. 19 'Sonata Fantasy': This sonata carries a sense of mystery and longing. The dish could be a Japanese-style sashimi platter, with translucent slices of delicate fish symbolizing the sense of yearning and the hint of wasabi reflecting the passionate undercurrents.
Course 3 - Sonata No.3 in F sharp minor, Op. 23: With its turbulent mood changes, this sonata deserves a dish with contrasting flavors: a salad of bitter greens, sweet roasted beets, salty feta, and a tangy citrus vinaigrette.
Course 4 - Sonata No.4 in F sharp Major, Op. 30: This sonata is ethereal and dream-like. A dish of scallop ceviche with delicate citrus and herb notes would reflect its ephemeral and otherworldly nature.
Course 5 - Sonata No.5, Op. 53: A pivotal piece, the 5th sonata carries a sense of discovery and liberation. The course could be a palate cleanser, perhaps a sorbet of unusual, exotic fruit, symbolizing breaking away from the familiar.
Course 6 - Sonata No.6, Op. 62: Haunting and dissonant, the 6th sonata demands a dish with intense flavors. A dish of squid ink pasta, with its dramatic color and rich taste, served with a spicy 'nduja sauce, could mirror the sonata's mood.
Course 7 - Sonata No.7, Op. 64 'White Mass': A captivating dish of Liquid Nitrogen Poached Coconut and Lemon Grass Espuma, served over a bed of Snow Crab and Caviar, with shards of golden sugar glass protruding from the dish like frozen white flames.
Course 8 - Sonata No.8, Op. 66: An enchanting plate of Spherified Mango Caviar over Lobster Medallions, with a Golden Saffron and Champagne Foam, served on a bed of smoke from dry ice, creating a visually stunning dish that mimics the spontaneous sparks of the sonata.
Course 9 - Sonata No.9, Op. 68 'Black Mass': A striking dish of Squab cooked sous-vide then finished with a blowtorch for a perfect sear, served on a mirror glaze black garlic puree. Accompanied by Charcoal-infused Potato Dauphinoise and a Black Truffle Jus spherified into glossy pearls that burst with flavor in your mouth.
Course 10 - Sonata No.10, Op. 70: For the final course, present 'The Symphony of Ecstasy' - a chocolate sphere, constructed from layered textures of tempered dark, milk, and white chocolates, each layer filled with a different exotic fruit mousse - passionfruit, raspberry, and lychee. The sphere is served over an intricate web of spun sugar, and the waitstaff pours a warm gold-flecked Grand Marnier sauce tableside, causing the sphere to slowly melt and reveal the layers within.
These final dishes would require advanced culinary techniques, including molecular gastronomy, to capture the complexity, depth, and thrill of Scriabin's later sonatas, making them an extravagant finale to a culinary symphony.
@@tchaffman So, my friend, how much do you reckon this experience would cost? 😆
💞
Typical how improvisatory this all sounds but it is very accurately notated and without the annoying habit of many modern composers to change the time signature every few bars. Also in his great orchestral works: I was surprised to see that Poem of Extasy is written in simple 2/4 metre.
his early sonatas less improvitory maybe but i feel like sometimes he tries to hard to make it difficult
The entire 1st movement of sonata 2 is in 3/4 and it certainly doesn’t feel that way

How are these videos edited? Do you Manually take a screenshot of every page and time it to the music? That seems like it’d taje hoird
Nope, the process of making images is mostly automated and doesn't require much effort. The only significant human effort is actually syncing the audio with the images.

The last five sonats - absolutely strange! Like in the 2nd half of 20 Cent.
s-s-son-at-t-ta in-n g-g-g-g-G... Major?
Yeah, sonata no.6 is definitely not in Gmaj. It's some sort of G, but it's weakly tonal. Scriabin himself never performed this as he was afraid of it's darkness.
sonata

The 5th Sonata is in D #minor, not F# major; same key signature but different key. And neither the 6th Sonata nor 7 - 10 are in any clearly defined tonality.
The 5th sonata is F# major, and some sources list the 6th sonata as G major. The 7 to 10th sonatas are not tonal.

Why putting so much effort in such a gigantic video AND THEN USING MARIA LETTBERG'S RECORDINGS 😡
Busoni atonal xD
This lol... there's so many greats to choose from for each and every piano sonata, but Lettberg is just weak and tasteless in comparison. I swear the only reason she's so popular is because she's the top choice on Spotify for Scriabin.
@@scriabinistshitposting9958 THIS
Why not use hamelin and make it unlisted bruh
@@LeSheetMusicBoi ok
Like with Ravel, I'm not picking up on clear or consistent structure and form or strong melodies with Scriabin. To me, it's dense, frenetic and incomprehensible. A million fractured and splintered pieces sewn up into one incoherent tapestry. Maybe I'll understand it better at a later stage in life or after many more years of listening.
ok i can see that but im not seeing the comparison to ravel because his works have clear structure and so does these works if you give them a decent listen honestly i thought that too but you will here melodies in and out and sonatas truly are a pretty free form
Ravel is insanely melodic and a master of form. The same applies to late Scriabin in terms of form and harmony. If you were like me and the first impression of Ravel was Scarbo, it’s maybe understandable, but even that has a very well-knit structure (the motif in the first 10 seconds echoes through the entire piece, for example). In terms of melody, the Lever du Jour movement from Daphnis and Chloe, second mvmt of g major concerto, le tombeau de couperin, I could go on.
Sicuramente io ritengo al contrario della critica il periodo decade di scriabin dalla quarta sonata in poi..
Ерунда
No me. gusta Scriabin.
ok
Me neither
Sorry you don’t get it. Scriabin is a world that some people are too earthbound to appreciate his magic.
