Prokofiev and Myaskovsky were very close friends fr their entire adult lives. They often offered each other feedback n compositions that were "in process." So it's appropriate that the first half if the recital features these two friends.
Yes, Yakov can be a bit uneven. I agree that his Scriabin was not top flight. I much prefer him with more romantic repertoire. I heard him perform (same venue) Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons" one afternoon. Previously, I could never warm up to that music. It just seemed flat and uninspired to me. But his performance breathed life into it. As with many artists, I think he has matured over the years, secure in his position teaching and as artist-in-residence. Since my friend who hosts these chamber music series sponsored Kasman's immigration to the U.S. and was influential in getting him settled academically, Yakov has played recitals pretty regularly over the years at friend's home. He's a pretty good "local yokel."
