About

In the early 20th century, the Pasternaks used to host a series of concerts in Moscow. People used to hurry not to miss the start of these concerts as it was a meeting point for painters, muscians, writers and poets, where they played music and recited their works which represented a manifestation of the great outburst ofcreativity which occurred at the turn of the century.

Scriabin's playing is nervous and inspired and he fascinates his audience not only with his playing but also his compositions.

Lev Tolstoy, the great Russian writer praised his music calling it "a sincere expression of genius."

Pianist Anastasia Safonovo says of this new recording:

"My wish for this CD is that it might provide an insight into the special period in Russian cultural life between the two revolutions."
