Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr We honour a pianist of immense talent, who left us too soon and who, to our knowledge, was the interpreter of the last part of the 20th century most possessed by the world of Scriabin (we recommend the excellent review by 'The Piano Files': www.thepianofiles.com/remembering-joseph-villa/). Without making us forget the legendary Vladimir Sofronitsky (we are in the process of compiling and remastering his best Scriabin recordings to present them to you), Joseph Villa was not one of Claudio Arrau's last pupils without reason. Like his master, his pianistic touch is of infinite poetry. His technique is terrific, and his palette of expression and sonorities are of a permanent creativity. He was supposed to record the complete works of Scriabin, but these two hours of recordings allow us to measure the extent of his talent. We begin to enter Scriabin's world through the easy door with poems and short pieces. Then the Mazurkas, easily accessible, take over. Finally, the etudes begin to reveal the world of maturity of the Scriabinian world to finally give way to the sonatas, a universe where the exploration is endless. Scriabin - 24 Preludes, Sonata No .4 Opus 30 in F Sharp (reference recording: Andrei Gavrilov): czcams.com/video/ZFq4pCFsKCk/video.html
I'm so moved to find this on CZcams which helps make this incredibly gifted artist live on. I was a close friend of Joseph and this recording was done on my piano, NY Steinway & Sons, Concert Grand, "CD-226" (serial #345281, case # J-1399, circa 1954) here in New York City, at The Church of the Holy Trinity, 316 East 88th Street. After the Liszt albums, which were recorded in my tiny apartment, we decided to move my piano up to this far more suitable place for such an undertaking. To no surprise to those who knew him, these were all done in one take with no piecing and splicing together, as is often done. Only an outside force, such as wailing siren would cause a retake. I miss Joseph, taken away far too soon.
Joe was ny teacher at UCONN. Always available for his students, and many times he would pop into my practice room unannounced, with some insight or thought on the music, or he would play through something for me. Cherished memories of a great artist and a truly generous human being.❤❤❤
I am incredibly grateful that you have put all of these online! I was friends with this great artist in his last few years, completely in awe of him (as were many) and sadly aware of his impending departure... I've put a long tribute to him on my website and will add this link to it - thank you very much for this!
@@classicalmusicreference Thank you SO much! The moment I heard his playing in 1991 I was committed to doing what I could to help him reach as wide an audience as possible, and I have continued to do so after his passing with the gracious support of his partner and other friends. I am so glad that the internet has made it possible for his playing to reach such a wide audience, something that was not possible when cassettes had to go from person to person... Thank you again for this great upload!
Thanks for the excellent hommage to Joseph Villa, which I didn't know and is certainly a genius. If you are interested in another exceptional pianist which recorded many of Scriabin's piano works, I can recommend Ruth Laredo. She was the first pianist to record the whole Scriabin cicle of sonatas, or so claims Connoisseur Society, and also recorded preludes, etudes, poems... She also recorded the complete solo piano works of Rachmaninoff for CBS MAsterworks label.
Big thanks for sharing this much underrated artist’s rendition. I always adore JV, eg. the Chopin mazurka recordings. Too bad his musical legacy was cut short by an untimely death. RIP, wonderful maestro!

this album balances between the middle period and the late period pieces really well

a most wonderful way to celebrate the 150th anniversary of scriabin!
Thank you for the presented beauty !!! BRAVO!!!
Always superior sound & performances on this channel. Thanks.
Боже, какая удивительная музыка!
Glorious playing in the early Mazurkas, with tasteful use of rubato throughout, and forceful climaxes.
A Genius Pianist ....
Smarter than the composer apparently. So many added notes in the sonatas.
Fabuloso!!! Muchas gracias por compartir!!!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Wonderful performance
That was an unexpected great surprise that you enjoy Villa too . Although personally I think Berman is way above in the etudes , Villa does shine in for example the 7th sonata
Wow ! Thank you very much !
Delightful! Would it be possible for your fine channel to feature this extraordinary pianist with other works maybe??? Thank you so much!
Villa died on April 13, 1995, aged 46, at Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center in Greenwich Village. The cause was AIDS, said Steven Gray, his companion.
Scriabin no llegó a escribir su obra Prometeo, proyecto que comprendía un juego de luces, para lo cual hizo fabricar un órgano que producía luces de colores. Planeó escribir una ópera filosófica que iba a titular Mysterium y que uniría la música, la danza, la poesía, los juegos de luces de colores y los perfumes. Tal vez no haya habido otro compositor tan imaginativo como él, que combinase la sensualidad con el misticismo; en este sentido influyó en Szymanowski y en Messiaen. Hermann Hesse, en un poema del apéndice de El Juego de los Abalorios trae uno que se llama Ensueño. El poeta se aloja en un monasterio entre montañas, llegada la noche, cuando los monjes se fueron a rezar sus oraciones, él se fue a la biblioteca, la Biblioteca del Paraíso. se dice a sí mismo, en donde ve libros maravillosos: uno llamado De Como Adán Comió También Fruta de Otro Árbol, otro sobre la Correlación Entre el Sentido de los Colores y el de los Sonidos,, en donde se demuestra cómo cada tono musical es una réplica a cada color, a cada refracción de los colores.
Solo escuchamos a Joseph Villa en este album, no lo vemos tocar, pero en las primeras obras se advierte que su poético toucher recuerda al de Arrau.

Scriabin is a great Alchemist of the piano

Скорее,лунные блики на воде,или предчувствие столь нелепой смерти...
Разве это мог,человек сваять,невоможно,божественная,белеберда,сумбур чуств
such an excellent pianist, too bad his life was cut short at the age of only 48.
Загадочный,непостижимый композитор...
I remember Chick Corea
He was good too, bit in a different way.
I prefer Sofronitsky and Zhukov
