Yevgeny Sudbin, dubbed a 'wonder pianist' by The Times, offers an exciting programme built around musical links between composers.

The young Russian star begins with an expressive sonata by Haydn, and next the startling late Bagatelles Op.126 by his pupil, Beethoven.

Chopin is heard in two exquisite short pieces and Tchaikovsky in a Nocturne that shows Chopin's influence.

Scriabin was influenced by both Chopin and Tchaikovsky and his Sonata No.9 moves on to hair-raising new spheres.

Finally Sudbin presents his own adaptation of another demonic work, Saint-Saëns's Danse macabre, based on virtuoso transcriptions by Liszt and Horowitz.

'The sheer demonic terror that the performance evoked is recaptured on this superb disc...Sudbin an interpreter of Skryabin par excellence' (Daily Telegraph, CD of the Year).
