About
Numbered among the musical elect of her generation, the multi-award-winning Xiayin Wang presents a recital of piano music that virtually spans Scriabin’s career.
The mysterious impressionism of Vers la flamme (Towards the Flame) builds to an exhilarating intensity that is matched by the two contrasting Poems.
From his early Waltzes and Polonaise, with their echoes of Chopin, via the rhapsodic abandon of the Fantaisie, to the Two Dances, composed shortly before his death, these works chart an almost mystical trajectory through the composer’s life.
“Scriabin’s Fantaisie in B minor Op. 28 was a luscious wash of colour, infused with big swirls of sound. [Yang’s] soon-to-be released recording of the composer’s music should be a dandy.” The Washington Post
