If there's any piece that merits a clear reduction to be easier to read, it's this one. The full score is a monster to study, this makes things so clear - fantastic job, truly! I last saw this performed in a pairing with Debussy's 'La Mer' and it was striking how great a pair they make
🎹 A welcome reduction to a massive tour de force of a score by Scriabin. What a pity it isn't programmed in more live concerts. Audiences love it. And so do I 🎹
@@Dylonely_9274yeah 1968 is pretty moderate in the vast discography, and anyways I don’t see why people should sacrifice quality of music for quality of recording
@@DynastieArtistique the quality of the recording also constitue the quality of the music… you can hardly love a too old recording with disturbing back sounds, even though the performance may be astonishing.
@@Dylonely_9274 the quality of a recording doesn’t constitute the quality of music, this is the mentality of someone who’s more than happy to hear yuja wang play a rachmaninoff concerto but not rachmaninoff himself. Pianists of that time are just so much better and people should be able to get over their discomfort of “old recordings” so that they can appreciate better quality music overall, and it’s possible I’ve gotten over it and it was something I won’t regret
I performed this MANY years ago (trumpet) and studied this exact recording. This condensed score certainly would have been helpful! Such a fat sound in that Russian soloist makes American readings seem "polite" by comparison.
Greetings. I left a comment on your channel ten months ago but never got a response, I figured I ask now on your most recent video instead. Might I ask you how you acquired sheet music for Utrenja I and II? I've been looking to get my hands on PDFs of both but to no avail.
@@QuotenwagnerianerInteresting. This is my favourite performance (though it certainly doesn't have the best audio quality). Which recordings would you recommend?
@@Quotenwagnerianer Ah yes, I've listened to that set. It does have a great recording of the Poem of Ecstasy, possibly the best studio recording out there. But I find this Svetlanov performance just too exhilirating to pass by! I particularly like how Svetlanov interprets the section starting from 8:28, treating it like an aftershock of the preceding climax, whereas Muti treats it like it's simply the next episode of the piece (which may or may not be what Scriabin actually intended, but I prefer the Svetlanov interpretation which creates a huge "arc" from 6:23 to 10:00 and makes more sense to me).

I totally agree.

Absolut Space!
It sounds quite good for a such old recording ! I also like how the score is presented, thank you again for your work.
This recording isn’t that old at all

Oops! I'm certain that I heard a wrong note in the trumpet melody line at 9:01
All these endless string sixtuplets could be just crossed out and noone would notice. How strange.
that's not really how it works

Amazing, I wish I had find something like this 10 years ago, thanks, the recoding is awful though =(
Indeed. Svetlanov and Scriabin are just not a match.
@@QuotenwagnerianerInteresting. This is my favourite performance (though it certainly doesn't have the best audio quality). Which recordings would you recommend?
Muti. He gets the "frenchness" of Scriabin. Svetlanov seems to think he is a russian. He may have been, but not his music.@@tomekkobialka
