Scriabin: The Russian Prometheus with Dmitry Rachmanov
Alexander Scriabin was a visionary Russian composer of the turn of the 20th century, whose music encompasses a steep stylistic progression from his adolescent romantic works to the futuristic compositions of 1910s. Scriabin’s unique language was influenced by his mystical philosophy and by synesthesia, the association of sounds with colors. What Scriabin personified for the Russian music, Debussy represented for the French and Schoenberg and his circle – for the Germanic traditions: a bridge from the 19th to the 20th centuries in the development of musical styles. 2021 marks Scriabin’s 150th anniversary. To commemorate this benchmark, the pianist Dmitry Rachmanov will present a synopsis of the composer’s stylistic and spiritual development through nearly three decades of creativity.
