About
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.
Ashkenazy brings a lifetime’s experience as well as his inimitable musicality and vision to this music in definitive performances. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Scriabin’s death (1872-1915), one of music’s great visionaries and a musician worthy of major re-assessment.
Decca flies the flag for Scriabin with two major releases: The Complete Works plus this brand new recording of solo piano works.

Awards and reviews
5th March 2015
Ashkenazy’s chronological trawl overlaps significantly with Garrick Ohlsson’s survey of Scriabin’s Poèmes...but Ashkenazy’s approach is quite different – more reflective and sometimes indulgent, very much viewing these pieces through the prism of Romanticism rather than that of modernism.
