"This budget-priced production from the composer's compatriots certainly holds its own against all comers. Konstantin Scherbakov plays the concerto with steel and sensitivity in equal measure, and he's particularly successful in knitting together the loose architecture of the outer movements, while at the same time making the filigreed piano writing sound like real Scriabin, rather than Chopin on steroids."

The performance of Prometheus is physically exciting and has a naturalness of flow... The couplings, orchestrations of various short piano pieces, are also captivating and unique."
