Paul Griffiths wrote recently in New York Times:
“Maxim Mogilevsky’s performance of the 10th Sonata (Scriabin) was pure ravishment, his fingers executing butterfly dances on the keys, as if he were making love to the instrument, and indeed to his audience. This was the point to which they whole program had been leading, at which auditory pleasure became almost erotic...”
