Scriabin, the creator of unique sound worlds, initially followed in the footsteps of Chopin. Jean-Philippe Collard explores this Romantic vein by shedding new light on his Piano Concerto, a delicate piece but by no means devoid of passion, which he juxtaposes with Rimsky-Korsakov’s Concerto. These two works from the Russian repertory are still neglected today, yet they possess irresistible charm and freshness.
