Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

I just purchased a new phono cartridge I am trying to break in, so I'm not streaming for a while and can't listen to your suggestions. I thank you though for those that have gotten through to me. In a few weeks I'll be able to sample things again. But throw less at me. I can perhaps at most listen to one piece every few days. Thanks

An American pianist, Joseph Villa, who died too soon able to play Scriabin in his own fluid way:

I participate on this excellent public  thread  and i propose music for all those reading it not just for you, and i understand if you cannot hear all of what is suggested here ...I apologize if my posts disturbed you and because you are the OP i can stand still and mute if you prefer so ...

For now, the birds are teaching me guitar.

I just bought a ticket to see Aknhatan at the LA Opera next March because you said it was so good. Thank you. Just keep throwing music out and I'll listen when I can. This is the first cartridge I've bought that I actually have been able to tune using my ear. Too bad all these abilities come so late in life. But at least they come. I listened to a famous Caesar Franck violin sonata. Everytime I hear him I wonder why I've never listened to him more.

I like that the birds are teaching you guitar. In the end, music is music. I am reading a book on consciousness written by a philosopher. I think he will prove (or suggest?) that the universe is conscious. And thus music.

I have finished playing around with my new cartridge for today so I have turned to Tatiana Nikolayeva. I am listening to her play Beethoven sonatas, some of which I know pretty well. I am listening to her play #18, The Hunt. I know this piece quite well. I have an album of Artur Rubinstein playing it on his 90th birthday. He approaches it like childplay and plays it with a kind of childish glee. I have never heard anyone I liked as much playing the piece, but I think Nikolayeva has a style as unique and enjoyable as Rubinstein. I needed to get away from Scriabin, whom I don't know well and understand, to a composer I do know, in order to judge her playing. I am coming to your opinion that she is one of the greats of the 20th century.
