Vladimir Ashkenazy has been a lifelong champion of the music of his compatriot Scriabin. For the composer’s anniversary year he has recorded a selection of works which span the entire output of Scriabin’s works for solo piano: an extraordinary musical journey from late-romanticism to the mystic modernism of his last works. A prelude by Scriabin’s youngest son Yulian – a promising composer and pianist who died tragically young aged eleven – completes this new recording.
