	Yudina on Sofronitsky
		We played "petits jeux" at the Wiesels, Sofronitsky never pretended, he was often a big child, had fun, played many games, as a child, having a short break from the spiritual stress, from the eternal slavery of the requirements of a strict Muse.
		Sofronitsky was extremely bored by all these old (except me, of course), pompous, old-fashioned...
		Sofronitsky was exactly a pure romantic; he is all yearning to the infinite and totally indifferent to the sea of life and is completely helpless in such.

	Vladimir Sofronitsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vladimir Sofronitsky (May 8/April 25, 1901–August 26, 1961), Russian pianist and a pupil, follower, and son-in-law to Alexander Scriabin.
		Although Scriabin himself never heard Sofronitsky play, the composer's wife did and vouched that the pianist was the most authentic interpreter of her late husband's works.
		Sviatoslav Richter and Emil Gilels looked up to Sofronitsky as their master, and famously, when Sofronitsky once drunkenly proclaimed the latter to be a genius, Richter toasted him to be a god.

		Sofronitsky has a special way of speaking to me when playing Scriabin, with his virile and sensual voice.
		Sofronitsky guides us through Scriabin in a way that not only highlights every detail, but also puts them in their proper context.
		Sofronitsky understands Scriabin in a very romantic way, almost byronian, and he makes clear all the nightmares and horror that exists in that music.

		Sofronitsky is aptly full of vigour and incisive rhythm in Lettres dansantes (though his speed here is relatively sedate) but does tend to make a bit of a meal of the rubato, voicings and dichotomy between rough rhythm and legato in Estrella.

		As a student, Sofronitsky played a lot of concerts; after he graduated from the Conservatoire in 1921, his career really began to flourish; he gave recitals in Petrograd (Leningrad) and Moscow as well as many other cities of USSR with a great success; his audience worshipped him.
		The season of 1937 - 38 was especially remarkable: Sofronitsky presented a historical cycle of twelve concerts embracing important piano works by composers from Buxtehude to Prokofiev and Schostakovich.
		Viacheslav Karatygin, a famous critic, wrote: «There is something in his interpretation that reminds of Scriabin’s way of playing; and, in spite of the pianist’s love to details and the widest range of contrasts in tempos and dynamics, the harmony and proportion of the whole is never spoiled.

		Sofronitsky spoke of his studies with Medtner affectionately and with gratitude.
		His music continued to be published in Moscow during the 1920's, but at the start of the new decade the official attitude to the composer changed, and performances of his music were not encouraged.
		Eventually in the late 1950s his collected works were published in the Soviet Union, edeited by Sofronitsky and Goldenweiser, which led to a revival of interest in Medtner's music that continues in Russia to this day.

		Vladimir, for his part, was the ultimate aristocrat, with finely chiseled features, an inspired profile, the gait of a thoroughbred and a nimbus of slightly curling hair around his head…
		Sofronitsky focused entirely on the music by the all-time romantics Chopin, Schumann and Scriabin and it also so happened that these were the composers he played his entire life…
		Sofronitsky treated the piano as if it were a living creature, caressed and kissed it saying “you’ve got to love the piano the way you can’t any human being anywhere…” And each note he played was so full of love…

		Sofronitsky (1901-61) has been variably and erratically served by record companies.
		But when it comes to Sofronitsky’s unevenness as a performer, especially in his last days, one can make a comparison between, say, the G flat major Impromptu in this 1960 performance and that on BMG’S ‘Russian Piano School’ Sofronitsky issue.
		Both recorded within months of each other in 1960 the BMG Impromptu has the same approach to rubato and sight subservience of the left hand in the opening paragraphs but is much more rigorously controlled, tighter and more apt.

		Many years ago, in the luxurious Upper East Side townhouse of Vladimir and Wanda Horowitz, Constance Keene, a prominent young pianist and a member of their inner circle, asked, after a game of bridge with her hosts, if she could play something for the maestro.
		Where Vladimir Sofronitsky could milk every strand of Scriabin’s counterpoint while availing himself no less imaginatively of sonorous contrasts, illuminating the relation ship of every line and motivic fragment to another, Horowitz settled for pleasing the listener’s ear, rather than alarming it.
		That much is sure: Vladimir Horowitz was nothing if not a force of nature, and one as inimitable as he is irreplaceable.

		Sofronitsky ranks almost on par with Rachmaninoff: both are deeply heart-felt, both are very poetic.
		The only difference is, with Rachmaninoff we have "a heart of gold" which is most nostalgic, and with Sofronitski we have a princely nobility so full of fragrance.
		Both Richter and Gilels regarded Sofronitsky their idol, not just Horowitz.

		The name of Vladimir Horowitz denotes the legend of a super-pianist who reached millions of listeners with his art.
		It is a pity that these points are ignored, but the endless barrage of his promoters made it convenient (for them and their sales objectives) to launch their ploy and embed it even into the minds of his three biographers so that their books did not objectively examine his music making.
		He and Sofronitsky were colleagues and once went on a trip to the Crimea (with Elena Alexandrovna Scriabina, Sofronitsky's wife) shortly before Horowitz left Russia with no intention of returning.

		Twice a year, on the composer's birth and death anniversaries, renowned pianists play Skriabin's piano pieces on his favourite Bechstein grand piano.
		Vladimir Sofronitsky is rightfully considered to be the best interpreters of Skriabin's legacy.
		In the 1960s the museum housed an experimental electronic music studio with one of the world's first synthesizers designed by engineer Yevgeny Murzin who called it ANS (an acronym of Skryabin's full name Alexander Nikolayevich Skriabin).

	A major pianist emerges. Nicolai Lomov - an appreciation, by John Bell Young
		In many ways these renowned pianists were lucky, beyond their talents, to have found worldwide fame in their lifetimes.
		But other equally extraordinary artists such as Vladimir Sofronitsky, Jacov Fliere, Maria Udina, Ernst Levy, Maryla Jonas, and Andrzej Wasowski, though known to their colleagues and unanimously regarded during their lifetimes as legendary by their peers, tended to languish in obscurity, performing only occasionally outside their native or adopted countries.
		The subsequent efforts of major recording companies to bring them wider recognition after their deaths, while greatly appreciated by generations of music lovers, were also a tragedy in the final analysis for the artists themselves.

	Both angel and devil. One hundred years on, John Bell Young provides a critical appraisal of legendary pianist Vladimir ...
		In Scriabin, his playing was nothing if not vivid and sensual, just as the composer implicitly demands, but again, it often drifted, as it did in the Poeme Op 32 and even the 5th Sonata, into a world where sound effects prevailed over far richer expressive possibilities.
		Where Vladimir Sofronitsky could milk every strand of Scriabin's counterpoint while availing himself no less imaginatively of sonorous contrasts, illuminating the relationship of every line and motivic fragment to another, Horowitz settled for pleasing the listener's ear, rather than alarming it.
		Elsewhere, he excelled in Chopin's smaller works, especially the mazurkas, to which he brought unusual lapidary refinement not equaled since Friedman.

		My favorite movement is the fourth one, presto con fuoco: violent, chaotic, rough, furious, yet sensual, provocative, enticing.lt;pgt;Sofronitsky loved Scriabin, loved him madly since he was young.
		John Ogdon has recorded two Scriabin CDs, a compilation of sonatas, preludes, etudes: his interpretation is strong but dull.
		lt;brgt;Pletnevs Scriabin is sensitive and romantic, but not passionate nor wild.lt;brgt;Volodos has a recording (live at Carnegie Hall) with Scriabin sonata No.10 which is quite remarkable.lt;brgt;Richters Scriabin is beautiful too, but I still think that Sofronitsky really felt Scriabin deeply.
