Don`t know this release, but Sofronitsky`s playing rarely disappoints .... the beauty of the Denon releases is the wonderful restore of this recordings (you`ve been warned :D) .... I have a extensive Scriabin discography somewhere, but can`t find it for now ....

Is this the definitive set ?

I'm nowhere near expert enough to call it definitive -- but I've enjoyed Zhukov recordings of Scriabin's music very much.

I only have one other LP of Zhukov performing Scriabin (below), and I've been thinking about upgrading to Zhukov's complete set of Scriabin sonatas, which Melodiya has reissued on two CDs.

. . . the complete set of sonatas on CD:

FWIW, I also like Scriabin recordings by Sofronitzky, Horowitz, Melnikov, Ashkenazy, Berman . . .  It would be difficult to pick just one interpreter. ;)

Now streaming:

Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique / Cluytens & the Philharmonia Orchestra

I've been using Spotify to sample stuff from this set, and I'm liking it very much -- especially the French music (but not just the French music).

So I'm thinking about plopping for the box. It's relatively inexpensive -- for a set with 65 (!) CDs.

Anyone have it?

You would not be disappointed .... btw these Denon releases are from 2003, which explains the scarcity ....

Bought this for 50 cent. First listen. Polish composer. Also penderecki (Mono first Polish press, Grand Prix Du Disque, later released on Philips label)  and some others.

Salvador Bacarisse: Concertino en la menor para Guitarra y Orquesta Op. 72; Ernesto Halffter: Concierto Para Guitarra Y Orquesta /
Narciso Yepes (guitar), Odón Alonso (conductor), Orquesta Sinfónica de la R.TV. Española [DG]

I recently found this LP at a thrift shop, and I really dig it. Lovely music! . . . Unfortunately, the vinyl has seen better days. Even after cleaning it repeatedly with my record vac, there's a steady stream of crackles and pops. Oh well. At least it doesn't skip.

. . . I guess I can't really complain about the LP condition when I paid a dollar for it. ;) 

 

I love these thriftshops ! especially because you never know what t find ! For 1 euro that is a good record.

Oh yes, great fun. I enjoy perusing those places. Goodwill. Salvation Army. Junk stores. All of them. :) 

Of course, on some level it doesn't make sense -- from either a time or money perspective. Nearly everything in those places is garbage.  But there is an undeniable thrill when you stumble across a hidden gem. . .  The same day I found Narciso Yepes, I also got the MJQ & Laurindo Almeida LP Collaboration, one of the few MJQ Atlantics that I didn't have. NM condition. $1.

Those sorts of scores are what make it fun.

This record contains especially music written by Chopin. and i am a fan. I heard a lot o.f his music played by cortot, Arrau, Harasiewicz, Rubinstein, francois, Lipatti but from the first moment i putted the the needle on the record and the music started to play i did not knew what was happening.... Totally different from what i thought to knew.

What i am trying to say and thought many times about this fenomenon. What is purism ? Does it exists ? Does it survive ? Is a musical thought of a composer pure ? etc. etc.

This record contains also a  1955 recording of harasiewicz's Mazurka's
