10:22 The E-flats are so resonant in the bass that they somehow make this section feel slow and epic, even though his tempo is so fast.

[MrLextune]

Wow. Scriabin himself describes Sudbin's performance in the score; vertiginoso, luminosita, estatico, imperioso, impetuoso, I hear it all!
Beside Sudbin's wonderful interpretation is his virtuosity, the beautiful setting, great sound and cinematography. All in all, thank you for this amazing upload.

[OdinLimaye]

As if this piece wasn't already fucking mind blowing enough, this guy performs it as if he's bringing about an end to the cosmos. Absolutely outstanding!

[beatrizwatanabe]

This man just made love to the piano! Bravo!

[ronl]

Very much enjoy Sudbin Artistry with Scriabin Masterpieces

[cflatminor]

I have been in love with this piece since I first heard Horowitz verion in 1975
but thsi is a fabulous performance, thank you

[Alix.]

No words, this is just ultimate performance of the piece.

[Luke-cq-e]

Good performance. I want to listen more scriabin by him.

[verslaflamme]

one of the best interpreters of scriabin

[LiberalParrot]

A few seconds after final sounds of this sonata must be in absolute silence. Evgeny looked at the window to prevent instantaneous applause...

[SergioCánovasCM]

This is probably one of the best (if not the best, in my opinion) performances of the fifth sonata of Alexander Scriabin.

[paulprocopolis]

Great stuff! I'm looking forward to hearing him play this live tomorrow.

[wcsxwcsx]

He really sank his teeth into this one. Expansive like I've never heard it before.

[persol]

sudbin is a masterpianist, M.A Hamelin finds this among the most difficult he masters it says alot of SUDBIN. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUDBIN'S 2 CD'S BIS RECORDS SCARLATTI SONATAS....WHT TO SAY, SCARLATTI TURNS INTO GOLD UNDER SUDBIN'S INCREDIBLE FINGERS.

[johnsherlock]

Great to see him really go for, although it does need to breath in a few places ... and I think at least 50% on the notes on the last page were wrong ( and perhaps that didn't really matter!)

[dzc]

Unfortunately he kind of flubbed the last run

[TomCL-vbxc]

He certainly went for it at the end and played with explosive passion - unfortunately slightly too much at the expense of accuracy.

[paulotav]

LOL! It's not Sudbin's "sonata no5", it's Scriabin's :))) what a fail! Great performance!
