From this List's perspective, the draw of pianist Weyer's recital is a chance to decide whether contemporary French composer Nicolas Bacri is a fresh extender/reviver of the Neoclassical tradition or an uninspired pasticheur who doesn't even provide the melodic pleasures he promises.  We can also decide whether Miaskovsky's piano sonatas are second-string Prokofiev or fifth-string.  Scriabin's merits are less controversial (at least to this listener).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm sending you to LA-style Mexican Oxomoco cuz it's very popular.  Not cuz I think it's so very good.  Cuz I don't.
