About

Alexander Scriabin’s music was admired by Tolstoy as ‘a sincere expression of genius’ while the composer once described himself as ‘all impulse, all desire…’. Rivalling Rachmaninov as a virtuoso musician, the colourful young pianist/composer Scriabin found inspiration in his hero Chopin, while adding Russian darkness to his Impromptus and sensuous passion to the technically demanding Sonatefantaisie. This album of lesser-known works also includes the precocious 11 year old’s Canon in D minor.

Reviews

“…Lee gives these works a fully committed performance, playing them about as well as they can be played.”

Myron Silberstein – Fanfare – September 2016

“…All the signs of harmonic adventure to come in Scriabin’s music is here, as well as occasional glimpses into the rhythmic complexities of his later works. Lee has a rock-solid grasp of these aspects, which makes for an enlightened look at early Scriabin.”

James Harrington – American Record Guide – May 2016

“Tolstoy described Alexander Scriabin’s music as “a sincere expression of genius,” while Scriabin described himself as “all impulse, all desire.” His virtuosity rivalling that of Rachmaninoff, the young musician and composer found inspiration in his idol, Chopin, while still touching his compositions with Russian darkness and passion. This album by pianist Soyeon Kate Lee includes the child prodigy’s Canon in D Minor, composed when Scriabin was only 11 years old.”

Lisa Flynn - WFMT (Chicago) – April 2016

“…an unhackneyed selection of some of Scriabin’s less well known piano music, all of it approachable, and all very competently played by the young Korean/American pianist Soyeon Kate Lee.”
