This new recording contains a selection of piano works by Alexandre Scriabin, the Russian Romantic/mystic, from the different stages of his creative life: from the Chopin-inspired early Etudes and monumental Fantasy Op. 28 to the 7th(White Mass) and 10th Piano Sonata, expressions of Scriabins philosophical ideas, dealing with his personal demons and quest for cosmic illumination. Serbian pianist Misha Dacic has a special affinity to Scriabin, he knows how to make the piano sound not like a piano (as Nikolai Sverev said about the young Scriabin). Dacic previous Liszt recording for Piano Classics (PCL0048) received glowing reviews: What a Liszt player!, a formidable Lisztian reputation is completely born out of the stunning virtuosity and passionate, fearless embrace of the composers idiom, (performance-10 Classicstoday.com), Startling temperamental force and mastery (Bryce Morrison in Gramophone). Misha Dacic is a regular guest at the prestigious Miami Piano Festival. He studied with Lazar Berman, and participated in the Progetto Martha Argerich in Lugano. Misha Dacic holds his present posts as piano professor at Mersin State Conservatory in Turkey, and at the University of Arts in Ni, Serbia.

at least as good anything i've heard from the russian school
I've been waiting for a second release from M.D. since his superlative Liszt disc - again: wonderful playing. This disc may not rock-your-world as much as the list recording but his technique and sonority are top-notch, the Fantasy and Sonatas at least as good as any I've heard from the Russian School. This pianist really is my hope for the future now the likes of Horowitz and Sofronitsky etc are gone.
