Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) Sunday March 29, 2026 Sonata No.3 in F# minor, op.23 Thanks for coming along! In this session we focused on Scriabin's earlier works and, in particular, his beautiful third sonata. Here are links to a couple of recordings I particularly like by: Daniil Trifonov Emil Gilels Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site. I also recommend listening to Scriabin's 'Poem of Ecstasy ', his Piano concerto and some of his Preludes op.11 for solo piano. If you're brave enough to listen to some later works of his more atonal style, I would recommend his tone poem Prometheus and his 5th and 7th piano sonatas For further reading I would recommend : Who was Alexander Scriabin? The innovation and audacity of Scriabin

Works of Rachmaninov, Scarlatti and Brahms "When the idea came to me to record this CD, my natural choice was the two composers whose works have accompanied me over the years : Brahms and Rachmaninov. It was, however, Scarlatti's sonata in A major, K.208, which was the decisive inspiration behind this recording. A work I find so beautiful in its pure simplicity that I could not help but choose it as the openinig piece."
