Scriabin Flammes Sombres op. 73 Valentina Lisitsa

“Dark Flames“ Темное пламя“ Dark, dark, glowing embers, fueled by a dance into a firestorm, turning into ritualistic frenzy in a flash. In the fast part Scriabin uses a very descriptive French word “désordonné“ that is best transcribed by music itself. Almost exact contemporary of Stravinsky Le sacre du printemps ( 1913-1914) this piece evokes the same primordial, pagan notions - in a span of mere two minutes. Today is 150 years since birth of A. Scriabin, one of the greatest Russian composers! This album is finally available!
