With her "steel grip and nimble fingers" (La Libre), Anna Vinnitskaya has the right qualities to honour Scriabin's music. During her recital, the Russian pianist lingers in the aesthetic universe of this singular composer, poet, synesthete and mystic, a contemporary of Rachmaninov. Here, she couples him with Chopin, a composer whom Scriabin revered and whose influence can be felt in pieces such as his Waltz op. 1 or his Fantasy op. 28. Rounding out this colourful programme are La valse and the Valses nobles et sentimentales by Ravel - a composer Vinnitskaya celebrated in her recording of Miroirs - and the tender piano arrangement of César Franck's Prelude, Fugue and Variation Op. 18.
