“Beneath you lie two miles of ocean—a bottomlessness, for all practical purposes, an infinity of blue... A thousand coruscating shafts of sunlight probe it, illuminating nothing.”
And... the sound of reflective water, the music of meditative oceans.
Samuil Feinberg plays Alexander Scriabin's Mazurka Opus 3 No. 1 (recorded in 1952), from his Seven Mazurkas.
Feinberg (1890-1962) was a pupil of Alexander Goldenweiser and one of the most eminent Russian virtuosos of his generation. Feinberg met Scriabin at the age of 23, he had the fortune of being one of the very few young pianists Scriabin appreciated; whilst he reproached almost all of them for a style which he considered too hard and insufficiently expressive.
