IMO the absolute best rendition of this masterpiece. There is also a vinyl reissue mastered by Bernie Grundman no less which in itself is an experience.

Marc-André Hamelin - Grainger: Piano Music -- $1 pickup from the op shoppe this morning. Never really been a fan of Percy's tunes but I do enjoy Hamelin's performances of trickier composers such as Alkan and Godowsky so giving this one a go.

George-Emmanuel Lazaridis - Liszt: Sonatas and Etudes -- solo piano recording of Liszt's formidible Sonata in B minor, and the Pagani Etudes to finish things off. Very noice. This is a SACD on Linn Records so the sound is good as you would expect (although sadly I don't have a surtround-sound setup).

Sometimes the best things hide in plain sight forever.

 

For example, this recording has been my goto for these unique and unrivalled works, for over 30 years:

Now, I’m finding that this been out for much of this time, and nobody cared to inform me 😜

It’ll take me the better part of a decade to get used to this and make up my mind which I prefer. So far, so good.

Roberto Szidon - Scriabin: Complete Piano Sonatas -- yoinked from ye old op shoppe today, this is a 3xCD set recorded in the late 1960s - early 1970s. Quite an eccentric performance at times.

Innaressing artimacle.

 

I’ve got the “classic” conducted by Jochum, though I haven’t listened to it yet. Also got one of the “duds” (conducted by Shaw) but this is the version of O Fortuna used in all the commercials and movies (and let’s face it, O Fortuna is what most people want to hear)
 

I saw the Mehta/Sumi Jo at an op shoppe recently but left it behind ... maybe I should yoink it for a listen.

A 1979 Phillips recording Ariodante is not only an excellent recording but a super quiet pressing. I bought this in the shrink wrap over 15 years ago. Through my all DIY system including tube phono stage and tube preamp sounds exceptional. Phenomenal performances also. A great day to be alive. Not sure about tomorrow.

I have been repeating Scriabin piano concerto op.20 played by Daniil Trifonov non-stop all day.
 

Can anyone recommend other worthy versions so I can add to my shopping list?
