Scriabin: 24 Preludes, Sonata No. 4, Op. 30 & Étude, Op. 42 No. 5

The year 2022 marks the 150th birthday of Alexander Scriabin, a visionary composer remembered for his harmonic audacity and his mastership of the miniature. Andrei Gavrilov gave a splendid recital centered on the early post-romantic period of Scriabin, with preludes still inspired by Chopin, and its progressive conversion to chromaticism with the fourth sonata and an étude from the opus 42.
