Sviatoslav Richter plays Scriabin (1952/1955)

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & Sviatoslav Richter

Sviatoslav Richter plays Scriabin is a studio album by pianist Sviatoslav Richter, recorded in 1952 and 1955. It presents piano works by Alexander Scriabin in a late-Romantic to early-modernist idiom, characterised by dense chromaticism, shifting tonal centres and exploratory textures, and the recordings document an early phase of Richter's recorded engagement with Russian repertoire.
First released: 2008
