It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Funny - I haven't heard that Sudbin recording yet

But that Scriabin Piano Concerto is an early work and pretty mild for Scriabin. On more than one occasion, I've fooled my wife by playing the second movement (theme and variations) and asking her who the composer is. It's deceptive, because it KIND of sounds like Chopin, but not quite. For some reason, she never thinks of Scriabin, and always guesses "somebody trying to imitate Chopin"! ;-)

Also, you have to admit that the Scriabin Concerto has the virtue of brevity, compared to other Romantic piano concertos. In any case, I'm really zoned in on Scriabin's evolution even to his most far-out late pieces - there's a consistency to the music IMHO, even if one of the ingredients to that consistency is a kind of sickly creepiness! ;-)
