Mariangela Vacatello's project of recording of Alexander Scriabin’s complete piano sonatas, which now sees the release of the second volume, is a virtuosic journey through the world of sonatas, as illustrated by Guido Salvetti in the accompanying notes: ‘They thus reflect the composer's entire artistic journey: from the fiery romantic gestures of Liszt to the dissolution of rationality in the more symbolic esotericism.’ Dating from 1891, during the final months of Scriabin’s studies at the Moscow Conservatory, to 1913, these sonatas are emblematic of his evolution as a composer.

In this new publication, Mariangela Vacatello brings her personal touch to the interpretation of Sonatas Nos. 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8, revealing their expressive complexities and countless emotional cues. This release reflects the intense and virtuosic exploratory research of the pianist, providing an opportunity for listeners to rediscover the creative and human universe of the Russian composer in all its expressive and narrative richness.
