SCRIABIN · SCARLATTI

Following a series of pre-release tracks Julius Asal now releases his debut DG album Scriabin – Scarlatti. The program creates a dreamlike meditation between different eras and states of mind by combining two composers, that are rarely mentioned in the same breath. Asal recorded the innovative program on two different Steinway pianos, to create sumptuous dark sonorities versus a clear, crisp sound, presenting Scriabin’s first Piano Sonata, selected Preludes and Etudes, as well as six sonatas by Scarlatti.
