German pianist Julius Asal is a unique musician known for his unusual programming. His performance of the complete Scriabin Sonata is accompanied on this album by a selection of his Etudes and Preludes, six Scarlatti sonatas, and two improvisatory Transitions by the pianist himself. "The miniatures of Scriabin and Scarlatti are like mythical creatures from another dimension, with their own character, their own life, their own past, present, and future."
