On this new recording for Artalinna, pianist Romain Descharmes dives into sonic realms of rare complexity. Alternating between Fauré and Scriabin, through an emblematic rendition of the Nocturnes by the former including the tragic and violent No. 13, as well as electrifying music by Scriabin, such as Vers la flamme or Sonata No. 9, the French musician invites us on a spellbinding journey of remarkable expressive power. As the album title suggests, all aboard to ecstasy!
