Customer Reviews of Scriabin: Vers la flamme
Scriabin's ears The performances on this CD are full of poetry. Most of the pieces recorded are the preludes, the slow, sombre, 'mystical' elements weaving in and out of O'Riley's fingers. Whereas O'Riley is able to bring out these elements with effectiveness, his overall playing lacks dynamics of any kind. He plays with no abandon whatsoever. Sonatas 4 and 10 are on this CD. I could not finish listening to the 4th, maybe because I am so use to THE Hamelin version. As for his performance of the 10th, it was mild. The last track, Vers la Flamme-again, no abandon, no dynamics. A very hairy piece I admit. But Sofronitsky I think does it justice. Every reviewer gives this CD 5 stars. Poetry is fine, but you need more than this to play Scriabin. O'Riley just doesn't quite cut it.
Something has happened
I don't know who is O'Riley but now I know that he has been there. I use to hear this music almost every day . I have no less than 20 different versions and all play this musc with better or with poorer sight..... from here. O'Riley plays from there. This recording has reminded me what the great words mean. We assist to a exhibition of musical logic. Nor the logic of a player. Not the logic of a composer. There is no player, no composer here. It is too pure. It is as the life of an unknown, but powerful and misterious organism..This Vers la flanme is the real end of all musc. The rest is silence.
I cannot believe this is an American pianist!
When I heard this recording I had to look twice to see that this Christopher O'Riley was an American (and a handsome one, at that, judging from the CD cover). As a neighbour of the Russians, I have always loved this composer. But I did not know that a musician from so far away could have such passion and empathy for the music of this visionary and mysterious composer, Scriabin. What a joy to have all of these pieces compiled so artistically. And interepreted with such soul.
