All-Scriabin: Ecstasy and Fire with Christian Douglas

4 Morceaux, Op. 51
Sonata No. 5, Op. 53
2 Poemes, Op. 71
Vers La Flamme, Op. 72

The middle and late periods of Scriabin’s work reveal a spectrum of emotion shaped by harmonic ambiguity, venturing into sound worlds previously uncharted. The selections Christian has chosen mirror his own growth as both a pianist and person over the past decade.

Sonata No. 5 swings between anguish and euphoria in a way that feels so personal, and Vers la Flamme is like stepping into a mythical flame; it’s ablaze, relentless, and teeming with ecstasy. Scriabin’s vision of fire manifests into a musical work that is both thrilling for the listener and daunting for the performer.

Scriabin’s music, both mysterious and liberating, offers the listener a chance to step beyond boundaries of convention and into a realm of spiritual freedom.
