Scriabin: Elements

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Groupmuse NYC, pianist Daria Vasileva introduces *Scriabin: Elements* as both a recital and an album launch centered on the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. The program follows his stylistic turn from Chopin-shaped late Romantic piano writing toward a sharper, more dissonant harmonic world linked to his synesthesia and quasi-mystical theories of sound and color. In New York’s long Scriabin lineage—from early 20th-century advocacy to today’s salon-stage revivals—this set treats the piano as a laboratory, not a museum piece. One clear takeaway is how quickly Scriabin’s language outruns the expectations of “Romantic” repertoire.
