This album unifies the late Romantic pianism of Alexander Scriabin with contemporary Spanish repertoire, featuring composers José Manuel López López, Jesús Torres, José María Sánchez Verdú, and Francisco Domínguez.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Scriabin's philosophical system viewed perception as reality itself, believing that 'everything is my creation' and that 'this play is the highest form of reality'.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Scriabin frequently used fire as a metaphor for desire, which he saw as the creative impulse and the drive to construct one's own reality.
Compositional Technique
Scriabin's 'mystic chord' or 'Prometheus chord' creates ambiguity by exchanging notes between two chords separated by a tritone, making it unclear whether the music is in tension or repose.
Composer's Artistic Vision
For Alexander Scriabin, music was not merely a code for expression but part of the content itself, serving as a path of revelation and a ritualistic experience.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded at the Auditorio Manuel de Falla in Granada, Spain, between September 2-4, 2024.
