Martin Oei: Scriabin, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Balakirev and Stravinsky

Pianist Martin Oei delves into the world of Russian piano music: from the folklore of Balakirev and the mysticism of Scriabin, through the melancholy of Rachmaninoff, to the rhythm and theatricality of Prokofiev and Stravinsky. A journey from intimate lyricism to grand virtuoso theater, featuring composers who each shaped and departed from Russian identity in their own way, ultimately creating timeless music.
