One of the earliest albums by Yevgeny Sudbin, released in 2007 under the BIS label, showcased a recital focused on Scriabin. This collection featured three of his piano sonatas alongside a variety of shorter pieces that encapsulated Scriabin’s entire creative evolution. Now, celebrating his twenty-fifth release with the same label, Sudbin revisits this composer and similar repertoire.The album is titled after the intense and concise poem “Vers la Flamme” from 1914, but it primarily centers around the fourth and tenth sonatas. These major works are accompanied by smaller compositions—preludes from scriabin’s Opus 11 and Opus 16, études from Opus 8 and Opus 42, and also the B minor Fantasie opus 28. This disc vividly portrays Scriabin’s artistic journey from his Chopinesque beginnings in earlier preludes to the ethereal landscapes of his later masterpieces where he forged a distinctive modernist voice.
