Both cycles of Piano Preludes recorded in this album – i.e. the 9 Preludes op. 1 (2011) and the 4 Preludes op. 10 (2016) – are explicitly inspired by two composers I particularly cherish and took as reference models, while trying to update some of their traits in a personal interpretive key. They are Alexander Scriabin and Karol Szymanowski in his earliest creative stage. Globally, a dramatic and restless dimension prevails, where occasional islands of serenity are found.
