Production details
The portrayal of reflections of night moths and birds, a boat on the ocean, a Spanish song and the sounding of bells in Ravel's atmospheric Miroirs is followed by Rachmaninov's virtuosic 13 Preludes, written at the pinnacle of his career. To mark Scriabin's centenary the recital ends with his mystical Piano Sonata which he entitled White Mass as he considered it to be of sublime purity.
