It is the good fortune of Scriabinists that the outstanding pianist JAEDEN IZDIK-DURKO, Gold Medallist in the 2024 Leeds Competition, counts among his many interests the music of Scriabin. One video (in sound only) gives what appears to be a live cycle of all the sonatas; a video in sound and picture gives a superb Scriabin Tenth with Chopin  and Beethoven from an earlier competition. The combination of depth and lucidity, of timbre and phrasing, is breathtaking. Also clear to an unprecedented extent is the rise of the returned second subject, a great Hymn to the Sun, interspersed with the actual rays of the sun itself. Few pianists can maintain the line here as does Izdik-Dzurko; and the following ‘dance of insects’ in the falling dusk is miraculously light.  Certainly worth our attention in any context, but particularly exciting in Scriabin.
