SCRIABIN, A.: Piano Music, Vol. 1 - Sonata Fantasie / Impromptus / Nocturnes (Soyeon Kate Lee)
Alexander Scriabin’s music was admired by Tolstoy as ‘a sincere expression of genius’ while the composer once described himself as ‘all impulse, all desire…’. Rivalling Rachmaninov as a virtuoso musician, the colourful young pianist/composer Scriabin found inspiration in his hero Chopin, while adding Russian darkness to his Impromptus and sensuous passion to the technically demanding Sonatefantaisie. This album of lesser-known works also includes the precocious 11 year old’s Canon in D minor.
