Album insights
Julius Asal, a young German pianist, released his debut album titled "Scriabin - Scarlatti" on DG. This album combines two rarely associated composers, creating a dreamlike meditation across different eras and emotional states. Asal recorded the innovative program on two distinct Steinway pianos to achieve lush, dark tones alongside a clear, crisp sound. The album features Scriabin's first piano sonata, selected preludes and etudes, as well as six sonatas by Scarlatti.
