🎶 Discover the Visionary World of Alexander Scriabin in a New Documentary 🎹
Delve into the mystical and innovative universe of Russian pianist and composer Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) with the latest documentary release. This film explores Scriabin’s profound vision of art's unity—where music, movement, light, and colour merge to create transcendent experiences.
Featuring expert commentary from esteemed musicians like Vladimir Ashkenazy and Vladimir Horowitz, conductor Mikhail Pletnev, and insights from Scriabin’s daughter, Marina, this documentary offers a unique glimpse into the life and works of one of music’s most enigmatic figures. Shot across stunning locales in Switzerland, Italy, and Moscow, and enriched with Scriabin’s own writings and rare archival materials, the documentary is a treasure trove for art and music historians alike.
The highlight includes a historic recording of Scriabin himself, playing his Poem Op. 32 No. 1 on a Welte Mignon player-piano, recorded in 1908. Directed by Oliver Becker, this film is a compelling watch for anyone interested in the fusion of arts and the power of musical innovation.
