Sheet Music

SKU: NX.CHRCD072

By Anthony Hewitt. By Alexander Scriabin. Classical. Listening CD (2 discs). Published by Naxos (NX.CHRCD072).

British pianist Anthony Hewitt records the complete piano works of iconic Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. Inspired by the 100th anniversary of Scriabin's death in 2015, Hewitt absobed himself in the composer's world by memorising all 90 of the preludes, which he describes as having “an incredible depth and variety of material, each with its own very distinctive character and mood”. The preludes span Scriabin's career, beginning in a lush Romantic style before transitioning towards the post-tonal soundworld for which he is perhaps most well-known. Anthony Hewitt is regarded as one of Britain's finest pianists, and since winning the prestigious William Kapell Competition in Washington DC, has enjoyed a prolific career spanning two decades, including concerto appearances with the National Symphony Orchestra in the USA and in the UK with the English Chamber and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras.
