Reviews

‘Plenty to enjoy here’ (Gramophone)

‘Unexpected pleasures’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Most of the pieces will be unfamiliar, but they are all absolutely beautiful, played with great enthusiasm’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘The music is so winning, and so intelligently chosen, that even hearts as hard as that of your average critic are won over ere long … a wonderful disc’ (Fanfare, USA)
Scriabin is most well known for his exquisite and lush piano writing, yet this Romance, probably written at a young age, is a simple yet charming chamber music work. It was not published during Scriabin’s lifetime. Although not challenging technically, it is a beautiful piece and unmistakably Scriabin.
