Alexander Scriabin Igor Shukow - Shukow Spielt Plays Scriabin
Review by Martin Taylor
The album Shukow Spielt Plays Scriabin by Alexander Scriabin Igor Shukow is a must-have for classical music enthusiasts. The album features the talented pianist Igor Shukow playing some of the most beautiful pieces composed by Alexander Scriabin. The album is a tribute to the Russian composer, who is known for his unique style and innovative use of harmony and color.
The album consists of nine tracks, each one beautifully crafted and performed by Shukow. The album starts with the hauntingly beautiful "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Shukow's interpretation of this piece is mesmerizing, and he captures the melancholic mood of the music perfectly.
The album also features some of Scriabin's most well-known pieces, such as "Etude in C-Sharp Minor" and "Fantasy in B Minor." Shukow's performance of these pieces is flawless, and he brings out the intricate details of the music with ease.
One of the highlights of the album is Shukow's performance of "Sonata No. 5," which is considered one of Scriabin's most challenging pieces. Shukow's technical skills are on full display in this piece, and he delivers an exceptional performance.

Summary by Martin Taylor
Comments
Wow.
This is a tough piece...I've read it before
This interpretation is great!
This is a tough piece...I've read it before
This interpretation is great!
Igor Zhukov's performance is so well thought out, it's absolutely magical and transcendental. I can tell you that this is Scriabin's most difficult piano sonata to play, having attempted to play it many times myself.
Sublime.
By comparison, Hamelin's technical mastery is more like skating over the surface of the music. Instead of gliding through frozen crystal, Zhukov is more about ebb and flow, with tidal extremes of drift and disruption. One of the hardest things to bring off is the ending, getting the right sense of disintegration and fade-out: not so much an ending as drifting out of earshot.
This is played as weirdly as it actually is. I have no idea if Zhukov has "got it right
It is also incredible.
