Dmitry Rachmanov and Marina Kostalevsky The works of Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) are among the most brilliant achievements of their time. Experts in Russian music lead a discussion with musical performances illustrating the gradual evolution of Scriabin's musical language from Romanticism to his own uniquely forward-looking idiom. The messianic notions of Scriabin's art paralleled contemporary trends in literature and philosophy and the composer's apocalyptic prophesies drove his grand project, Mysterium, which still fascinates after almost 100 years.
