Ashkenazy vividly embodies Scriabin's mystical thought
The Russian master depicts the decadence and longing for change at the end of the century with a versatile touch.
As the title "White Mass" suggests, this piece unfolds Scriabin's distinctive sound universe, where ecstasy and silence intertwine. Vladimir Ashkenazy's performance, with its exquisitely refined tone, invites the listener into a profound spiritual world.
