First Solo Piano Offering......

.....and it isn't by an established giant of the genre but comes a little out of left field, The Early Scriabin by Stephen Coombs. Romantic Russian music, coming out of Chopin but with plenty of interest of its' own. Scriabin himself was apparently a scintillating concert performer. Stephen Coombs plays these with sensitivity and respect for the idiom. Coming as it does from that turn of the 19th / 20th century period in Russia, there is a lot of back story to Scriabin's life and early death. Not too much of that turbulence is noticeable in these early pieces.
