Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe
Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more

April 26th, 2011, clavichord with a storm
on: February 17, 2013, 05:50:39 PM
I think I had wanted to post this a while ago but I didn't have a suitable way of cutting out this section without decimating the quality of the mp3. I found mp3direct cut to do this. This improvisation was recorded with a rather big thunderstorm going on outside. I remember feeling transported by the feeling in the air from the storm whilst playing on this quiet and intimate instrument.

The intro is sort of a calm and meditative set of phrases, which almost seem to talk to/about the storm. And then there's a rather nice circle progression, then some more meditative stuff in the middle, and then some fun medieval dance stuff near the end.
