Many of Scriabin's works are written for the piano; the earliest pieces resemble Frédéric Chopin and include music in many forms that Chopin himself employed, such as the etude, the prelude and the mazurka. Later works, however, are strikingly original, employing very unusual harmonies and textures. The development of Scriabin's voice or style can be followed in his ten piano sonatas: the earliest are in a fairly conventional late-Romantic idiom and show the influence of Chopin and Franz Liszt, but the later ones move into new territory.
Scriabin has been often considered to have had synaesthesia, a condition wherein one experiences sensation in one sense in response to stimulus in another; it is most likely, however, that Alexander Scriabin did not actually experience this. His thought-out system of relating musical notes to colours lines up with the circle of fifths. Prometheus: Poem of Fire includes a part for a 'clavier à lumières' (keyboard of lights) though this is not often featured in performances.

That sequence of 16th notes after the first melody repeats (1:25) sends you right into another world. Only the best music can do that.
Hein Barreveld
So much feeling, right toucher and balance in Poeme 1. I listened to almost all interpretations available on YouTube and find this one the best. I play the piece myself and learned a lot from the way Pogorelic reads the poem, taking the time and not rushing things.
Kayson Slaughter
Currently learning the piece and agree 100% with you! This is absolutely the best recording I can find on Youtube as well. He just understands Scriabin so much. You can hear so much color I can only imagine being able to see it like he did. Cheers! Happy practicing!

Absolutely beautiful; you can hear Scriabin’s Fourth Sonata all over this.
Laura Bien
