Review title: This is not real Scriabin
Product review: It seems all these reviews are written by Pletnev admirors. I greatly admire Pletnev's brilliant recordings of Scarlatti, Beethoven variations, C.P Bach, Chopin, Liszt etc, but his Scriabin is a real letdown. His playing does not lack delicacy and poetry. Preludes are played beautifully with his usual fluency, but it sounds rahter prosaic. As for sonatas and late works, he completely fails to capture the sense of mystery, etherial beauty and spirit of the music.If you are after Scriabin played with real depth and spiritual force, you must listen to Sofronitsky, Richter and Horowitz. Then you will know how shallow Pletnev's interpretation is.
