Julius Asal: Scriabin/Scarlatti

'Scriabin/Scarlatti' creates a dreamlike meditation in which the boundaries between pieces, eras and states of mind fade away. Asal's full performance of the Sonata is framed by a selection of Scriabin's etudes and preludes, six sonatas by Scarlatti and two improvisatory Transitions by the pianist himself. Julius Asal chose two different Steinways for the recording, one for its sumptuous dark sonorities, the other for its clear, crisp sound. 'These miniatures by Scriabin and Scarlatti are like mythical creatures from another dimension, with their own character, their own life, their own past, present and future'. Everything's possible in a dream', says the 27-year-old artist, who has a rare talent for innovative programme curation. 'Even seemingly different materials from different times and with different densities can merge and create a new substance that's never existed before'.
