New recordings of the complete Scriabin (1872-1915) piano works are rare, and rightly so, only the greatest have the insight, abilities and guts to explore the cosmic and metaphysic world of these 20th century masterworks. Dmitri Alexeev is such an artist: equipped with a formidable technique he immerses himself in the hyper individualistic style of the eccentric Russian, delving deeply, to get to the bottom of such pieces like the "Black Mass" sonata, or its spiritual opposite, the "White Mass" sonata. This 8-CD set presents a fascinating journey, starting from the romantic, Chopin-inspired early works, towards the later works, written in the unique "Scriabinesque" atonal language, inspired by his theosophical ideas, and megalomaniac metaphysics.
Includes the complete Sonatas, Preludes, Mazurkas, Studies, Poèmes and other short pieces.
The release of the separate issues was met with unanimous enthusiastic reviews, 5 stars in Diapason, Fono Forum, Luister, Gramophone and other magazines. "He emphasizes the music's lyrical beauty without sacrificing energy or forward mobility…few recordings are so intrinsically beautiful as Alexeev's." Jed Distler on Classicstoday.com.
