Description
The Russian pianist's debut CD comprises Scriabin's piano concerto, performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Michael Seal. This beautiful work, often mentioned by pianists and musicologists in the same breath as Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto, contains one of the most haunting slow movements in the Romantic piano repertoire. The CD also contains the effervescent dances of the Cinderella Suite op.102 by Prokofiev, and Medtner's thematically wrought single-movement Sonata in G minor op.22.
