Album insights
The debut Deluxe Edition of Julius Asal's DG album, "Scriabin – Scarlatti," offers a dreamlike musical journey bridging different eras and emotions. Asal daringly merges two rarely associated composers. Recorded on two distinct Steinway pianos, this album aims for lush, rich tones, and a pristine sound. Alongside Scriabin's early Piano Sonata, selected Preludes and Etudes, plus six Scarlatti Sonatas, this deluxe version unveils five unreleased pieces, including compositions from both Scarlatti and Scriabin, an improvisation inspired by Scriabin, and two original works by Asal himself.
