Alexander Scriabin is popular among modern pianists, as is seen in the numerous recordings made since the 1970s. With a revolutionary compositional style, Scriabin remains one of the most original musicians in the history of music. His earliest works show a romantic language. Soon, however, he began pushing dissonance and tension to the point of completely disintegrating tonality, achieving effects similar to that of Schoenberg, but with a style all his own. “A pianist with remarkable insight, maturity and artistic imagination… his keep intelligence, impeccable musical taste and refined technique allow him to realize interpretations of great beauty and emotional strength…” (Lev Natochenny)
