Gosh - She may have more CD's than I do!I've lived with her recording for about 20 years now and it has really stood the test of time for me. Sure, I like both the Gould studio performances too (and I like that Yamaha piano he used on the later one), and the Perahia performance certainly has to be one of the best things he's ever done on recording. And the Weissenberg EMI recording is certainly interesting at the very least. Garrick Ohlsson's performance is VERY fine (and it's one that probably gets overlooked). I still like Dershavina best of all.

only used on Amazon, and $38 at that.
Still starting at $18 used though. It's also available as a download at Presto Classical in the UK - but unfortunately not for US customers! The transliteration of her last name sometimes appears as Derzhavina rather than Dershavina (if you were thinking of searching on other sites).
But not TIDAL.
Haydn and Bach French Suites are on Spotify.
I like Dershavina's, too. I wish she would make more recordings. Her Haydn sonatas aren't as good as the Goldbergs, though.
I have her Bach French Suites (which I like a lot!) and Medtner albums. It looks as if she just released a new album earlier this month - of Stanchinsky's piano music. I saw it on the Presto Classical and Amazon UK sites, not the Amazon US site - it may also be available on the Target (!) site, although the album cover doesn't show up in that listing.
If you like Scriabin's music, you'll love Stanchinsky's. His very small output may have had something to do with the fact that he was subject to delusions. (And, yes, some of his music can sound every bit as creepy as some of Scriabin's!) He was found dead at the age of 26 after he had gone on a walk - possible suicide, although no one knows for sure.
