No CD with works by Alexander N. Skrjabin

For me, the two Scriabin pieces Vladimir Horowitz plays on Horowitz In Moscow are the most powerful on the whole CD.

I have the Ashkenazy disc of Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy, Piano Concerto and Prometheus, old recordings but pretty good. I am told that Scriabin wrote a symphonic piece for orchestra and light organ!! Amazing for a man who lived in his time.

last name is spelled as Scriabin, not Scrjabin. There are plenty CDs on amazon.

I like Scriabin quite a bit, and strongly recommend the following piano CD by pianist Pascal Amoyel: Intergrales des Poems, on Calliope, CAL9353. Calliope is a French label (not surprisingly). Scriabin wrote a number of pieces he called Poems, which are sort of like Chopin's Nocturnes, only with more advanced harmonies, etc., and the tend to be somewhat meditative (though there is plenty of serious piano-playing involved).

If you like this music, you ought to try Poem of Ecstacy for Orchestra as well. Great stuff.

(I don't think your method of spelling "Skrjabin" is "wrong," but that is not how it is commonly spelled in the West.)

Hi all, thank you...it was all down to the spelling. As Eweedhome noted, my spelling was not wrong, just not used on this side of the world. Regards from Switzerland
