No CD with works by Alexander N. Skrjabin


Hello,
as you may know, he is a Russian composer who lived between 1872 and 1915. I recenlty listened to a live performance of his "Etude" Opus 8 nr. 11 and 12 and was overwhelmed. I guess there is a recording by Morowitz, but I cannot find any CD ...does someone know where to get CDs with Skrjabin's work or is he just too unknown ?
Cheers and thank you, Mike

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
