Synopsis

Album Description

Russian composer Alexander Scriabin lived 1871-1915. His comprehensive collection of eighty-three prelude compositions documents his stylistic development from 1887 to 1914, demonstrating a gradual overcoming of the Chopin and Liszt tradition that dominated the piano works of the time. Andrei Diev gave his Moscow debut in 1975. At only seventeen, he appeared for the first time with the USSR State Symphony Orchestra. His great talent was acknowledged in 1977, when he won the All Soviet Pianist Competition.

CD Reviews

A Good Recording

Thomas Nordin | Sweden | 12/17/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Scriabin's preludes are fairly new to me, so I can't really compare this recording to others. However, it seems to me that Diev's approach is very pleasant, especially in the slower numbers - the C major prelude of op. 11, for instance, gets a very relaxed, romantic/impressionist treatment, which I prefer over some very fiery interpretations I've heard elsewhere. Some of the faster numbers are less convincing, Diev's playing lacks some precision there. The sound is OK, but a little thin in the low end.

As for the preludes themselves - well, they are outstanding of course. And it is extremely handy to have them all in one package, and being able to trace Scriabin's transformation, in just a few years, from a romantic Russian Chopin to a next-to-atonal Russian Schönberg. Personally I prefer his earlier stuff, especially op. 11 (24 preludes in all the major and minor keys).

The cover is absolutely ghastly, but don't let that deter you from getting an excellent (and cheap!) collection of some of Scriabin's interesting piano music."
