Scriabine : Mazurkas poèmes et impromptus Coffret

Description

Sonatas, Preludes, Etudes, Dmitri Alexeev has thought of his complete Scriabin by genre, a risky bet that ultimately brings together in three overflowing discs everything else, ordered by opus number and thus in a relative chronology, from the Waltz op.1 between Schubert and Chopin, to the Mazurkas already more from the same youth, a bit fanciful, to the visions of the Poems, the Sacrificial Dances, from the salon to the pagan temple, from charm to ecstasy. A whole world where meteorites and landscapes collide, where the intimate and the immense (recluse in the brief) intertwine, where elegy and trance contrast, all of this Dmitri Alexeev makes sing and explode with his grand school piano, with such noble tones, in an art that lacks neither poetry nor extravagance, and even less intoxication. Could this be the great modern complete set we have been missing since Michael Ponti's, which only Maria Lettberg has managed to approach until now? Certainly, and unlike that one, outrageously modernist, but with such talent! Dmitri Alexeev, a true Russian, celebrates all the ambiguities of Scriabin, and in his stylized playing recalls the great achievements of Neuhaus, Feinberg, Sofronitzki, Horowitz, elevating his complete set to the Pantheon of the ancients. And now, may Brilliant find him an orchestra and a conductor, to record Prometheus, the Fantasy, the Concerto!
