Wise pianists fear Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto, one of the most fiendishly difficult pieces ever composed for piano. Alexander Gavrylyuk, “as vivid and characterful as he is dextrous” (Gramophone), is suited to summon Rachmaninoff’s fireworks. “The Poem of Ecstasy” by Scriabin is a metaphysical romp, fueled by the composer’s fascination with the creative spirit and “The Divine Play of Worlds.” Author Henry Miller referred to this orchestral trance as “a far-off comic itch… like a bath of ice, cocaine and rainbows.”
