Relatively compact works, several of them cast in a single movement no longer than 10 minutes, they each nonetheless inhabit a discrete and intoxicating sound world of their own, and great pianists throughout the last century have stamped their own authority and personality upon them. Now comes the Italian pianist Vincenzo Maltempo, already garlanded with critical praise for his concert performances and discography on Brilliant Classics. Maltempo contributes his own, thoughtful essay to this new recording, and it reveals him giving full value to Scriabin the mystic, the composer who attempted to understand the entire universe through his own compositions. He relishes the dark and unsettling qualities of works such as the Sixth Sonata, so full of languid themes, sudden flashes and moods of disturbing violence that even the composer himself never dared to perform it in public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
