In the early years of our century when vital new forces were revolutionising the arts Russian-born Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) was one of the visionary pioneers who sought a new musical language. At least a full decade before the advances of Stravinsky and Schoenberg Scriabin had begun the process of a complete break with all musical conventions. By 1905 he was immersed in a search for a way to express in sound the mystical and theosophical ideas obsessed him. Scriabin’s last two orchestral works were the products of a virtual delirium of composing. Simultaneously refining his poem called Poem of Ecstasy andcompleting the symphony that grew out of it (and shared its name) Scriabin never forgot the rapture of composing this work about creation and self-fulfilment: “I gasp for breath but oh what bliss! The very meter kindles the meaning…” Prometheus: Poem of Fire – Scriabin’s last and most revolutionary symphony – portrays Man’s epic journey from the mists of beginning time to a wonderous self-realisation given the gift of fire and light to make creative vision possible. Massively scored Prometheus incorporates a “colour Organ” to bathe the performance space in a vast interplay of coloured lights. For the music professional and every student of composition orchestration and conducting both scores are strikingly original and instructive. Equally fascinating are Scriabin’s approach to composition the extraordinary sonorities of his orchestra and his fanciful often supercharged performance instructions that replace conventional words for tempo mood and expression.

'Un grand poème pour piano' - c'est ainsi que Scriabine décrivait sa 5e Sonate pour piano. En effet, cette sonate fut composée parallèlement à son grand poème symphonique 'Le Poème de l'extase' et prend appui sur le même support littéraire. Scriabine peaufina longuement son modèle à ces oeuvres, un texte décrivant poétiquement sa conception philosophique de l'évolution du monde, jusqu'à le faire enfin paraître en 1906 dans un petit recueil séparé. Près d'une année plus tard, il annonce qu'il vient de terminer la composition de sa 5e Sonate - 'et qu'elle représente ce que j'ai écrit de mieux pour le piano. Je n'arrive pas à expliquer le miracle qui s'est produit ici'. Nous poursuivons, grâce à cette oeuvre charnière, notre série d'éditions Urtext de la musique pour piano de Scriabine. / Piano / Chanson En Séparée

Scriabin's 7th Piano Sonata is amongst the late sonatas nos. 6-10, conceived as preliminary studies for a Gesamtkunstwerk of enormous proportions, the 'Mysterium?. The mystic aura of the 7th Sonata is communicated to the player not least through the ecstatic performance directions contained in the autograph and the first edition. This and a great deal more can be seen in Scriabin's manuscript for the sonata, which we are presenting in a high-class facsimile in 2015, Scriabin Year. It is hard to believe how clearly and neatly the composer wrote this extremely complex music. The preface by the expert Valentina Rubcova provides an ideal guide for a journey of discovery through Scriabin's esoteric musical world. / Piano

En été 1891, Scriabine, s'étant trop exercé, blessa sa main droite. Il dut pour cette raison faire travailler uniquement sa main gauche, pour laquelle il écrivit en 1894 son Prélude et Nocturne op. 9. Les deux pièces furent publiées l'année suivante et jouirent rapidement d'une grande considération. En 1906, elles étaient même si populaires aux Etats-Unis, que Scriabine rapporta de New York: 'Il s'est avéré que l'éditeur local a réimprimé mon Nocturne pour la main gauche et que des milliers d'exemplaires sont déjà vendus [...] Ma popularité est immense!' / Piano / Chanson En Séparée

Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) was a Russian composer and pianist. He was one of the most famous musicians within the Russian Empire during his lifetime but remained virtually unheard-of in the West and was quicklyforgotten after his death. His best known works are his 5 symphonies but he also wrote hundreds of Preludes and Etudes.Etude in C Sharp Minor was one of Scriabin’s earliest published works beingthe first of the Trois Morceaux (Three Morsels) that formed his second opus. It is a delicate work which modulates through several connected keys and at a similar level to the Etudes of Chopin. A perfect recital item forany pianist who wants to master a piece by an under-performed composer.

Scriabin's ten complete piano sonatas offer a fascinating insight into the Russian composer's stylistic development. While his first works still fully reflect the late-romantic tradition, the late works keep bursting the bounds of tonality. The boldly outlined, two-movement Fourth Sonata marks a turning point, for it evokes the world of the 'Poème de l'extase? with its mystical atmosphere hovering between ethereal rapture and ecstatic flight. The publication of opus 30 means that all of Scriabin's sonatas are now available in Henle Urtext quality and edited by the expert Valentina Rubcova of Moscow - an invitation to all pianists to plunge into this unique cosmos. / Piano
