Scariest Piano Piece ever written for the piano: Scriabin's Black Mass: Listen till the End!

I have never thought in my entire life, that I would ever be so scared of a piece written for the piano.

It is THIS piece.

This was to be my first and last performance ever, of this piece.

I fell in love with it when I first heard Horowitz play this piece. So I learned this piece in my 20's and performed it live in a concert.

However, I knew I would be so scared of the energies in this piece, I programmed it, so immediately after, I would perform selection from the Messiaen Vingt Regards, so as to dispel any negative energy created by this performance.
( You can watch and listen to those Messiaen pieces I played back then here in this live Jordan hall performance. These pieces won the Messaien competition and was broadcast on WGBH Radio that year. https://youtu.be/svD8trs_ZGk?si=c1mCIyhorL17VMRs)

And now decades later, I am hearing it for the first time, and realize, despite my fear, I feel I have been able to capture the essence of this dark character, and for the purpose of sharing an amazing composition, I have decided to share it.

Whether or not I will ever practice and perform this piece, will yet to be determined.

In the meantime, please enjoy my first and last performance of this piece ( so far) of the Scriabin's Black Mass.

On the other hand, if you want to hear an exciting, uplifting journey to Radiance, then listen and watch my live performance of Scriabin Sonata #4 that I performed in Jordan hall.
