'All the fiendish technical demands are well in his grasp, and his keen musical intelligence and finely discriminating ear do the rest' (BBC Record Review)

'Such virtuosity ... deserves engineering of a high calibre and here we get it. Quite extraordinary clarity and wide-ranging tonal fidelity in a spacious recording which places the listener at an ideal distance in a warmly welcoming acoustic setting' (Gramophone 'Sounds in Retrospect')

'Piers Lane is easily up to tackling the volatile figures that abound in Scriabin's piano music. Indeed, his technical bravura is often breathtaking ... Thankfully Lane never lets us forget that the virtuosic and poetic exist in equal measure' (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)

Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915)
