Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Piano Sonata no. 5 in F sharp major, Op.53

Had the piece been much longer, pianist, instrument, audience and hall would surely have been consumed by some Pentecostal fire. Which is more or less what the composer had in mind.

Pounding the 26 miles from Greenwich Park to The Mall wasn't the only marathon in London today. At Milton Court, Peter Donohoe ran his own marathon, tackling all ten sonatas by Alexander Scriabin.

Garrick Ohlsson’s ‘Skryabin Focus’ at Wigmore Hall opened with a concert on the composer's birthday which revealed the complex and myriad aspects of Scriabin's creative impulse and his deep affinity for the piano

It is rare to be at a concert where one is utterly captivated from the first note until the very last has faded to silence, but such was the effect of Russian pianist Yevgeny Sudbin on a packed Wigmore Hall at his lunchtime recital of works by Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt, Scriabin and Saint-Saëns.

It’s hard to ignore Chinese pianist Yuja Wang, and sometimes for the wrong reasons: the controversy about That Dress (a daringly short designer frock paired with killer heels) ruffled some feathers amongst traditional classical music critics and concertgoers, and provoked a healthy debate about concert attire.

In an age where most performers dedicate their whole life to music, Stephen Hough is a remarkable exception. Something of a Renaissance man, not only is he one of the world's foremost concert pianists, but he also paints, composes, writes poetry and blogs. This evening's programme on the theme of 'strange sonatas' was framed by two of the best-known works by Beethoven and Liszt.

Premier Prix au Concours Scriabine en 2024, John Gade a célébré la sortie de son disque consacré au compositeur avec un récital d'anthologie, non sans gratifier son public d'une belle surprise...

En contrepoint de l'exposition Morozov, Boris Berezovsky et Henri Demarquette présentent au public de la Fondation un Scriabine habité et un Rachmaninov précis, mais un peu froid.

Au Festival de Menton, Boris Berezovsky a offert un récital époustouflant de virtuosité et de sensibilité, où Scriabine répondait à Rachmaninov.

Il n'y a que Radio France qui puisse consacrer six récitals de piano dont la programmation tourne autour de la Révolution russe de 1917.

Vadym Kholodenko ist ein Klangmagier: sein Spiel war äußerst sprechend, bilderreich, mit blühender Agogik erzählend-plastisch und dabei unprätentiös: große Klavierkunst!

Boris Berezovsky vient jouer Pokofiev et Scriabine à la fondation Louis Vuitton. S'il est un grand interprète de Prokofiev, il se montremoin à l'aise dans Scriabine.
