Horowitz Plays Scriabin - Horowitz Plays Scriabin
Review by Álex Rodríguez González
Horowitz Plays Scriabin is an exceptional album that features the legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz performing the works of Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. The album, released in 1962, showcases Horowitz’s impressive technical abilities and his deep understanding of Scriabin’s music.
The album opens with Scriabin’s Sonata No. 10, a challenging piece that demands a high level of virtuosity from the performer. Horowitz rises to the occasion, delivering a powerful and passionate performance that captures the intensity of the music.
Throughout the album, Horowitz demonstrates his mastery of Scriabin’s complex and often abstract compositions. His playing is precise and controlled, yet also expressive and emotional. He brings out the nuances of each piece, highlighting the intricate harmonies and melodic lines.
One of the standout tracks on the album is Scriabin’s Etude in C-sharp minor, Op. 2 No. 1. Horowitz’s interpretation is both delicate and powerful, showcasing the beauty of the piece while also capturing its explosive energy.
