I haven't played this in public yet and I hope you'll forgive my mistakes. http://www.mediafire.com/?244xdkoejxy

Raul,
I don't have nearly the familiarity with Scriabin that I should, but I want to like him and I try to when the opportunity presents itself. So, on the strength of your earlier recording of Chopin's Op. 44, I listened to this last night while I read along with the score.
I am amazed at the sweeping complexity of the arpeggiations, in particular, in this piece. My own current project is reputed to be among Chopin's most difficult, but it pales alongside figurations like these. (At least that's my impression, anyway; the idiomatic writing styles of composers other than Chopin can seem like a foreign language to me.)
Well, I certainly enjoyed the Scriabin and thought you really play it well. My only comments are that dynamic contrast overall didn't seem terribly pronounced (but I realize that's often the nature of recordings), and, more importantly, that in sections that in the score were marked più vivo you actually seemed to broaden and slow down the tempo somewhat instead. FWIW.
I really like your playing, Raul, and now look out for your recordings. Keep 'em coming!
Steven
