Alexander Gadjiev's album Legends is an invitation to discover the timeless legends and stories hidden in music and thus the power of music to conjure up entire worlds. With the program of this album, the Italian-Slovenian pianist Alexander Gadjiev creates a profound and mystical experience.
In Debussy's "La cathédrale engloutie", ghostly bells rise from a sunken cathedral and bring a Breton myth to life. Liszt's "Funérailles" rages with thunderous chords and evokes the fight against mortality, while Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" unfolds a lively tapestry of Slavic folklore and European motifs. Prokofiev's "Légende" tells a fairytale-like story of light and shadow, and Scriabin's Sonata No. 9 (Black Mass) immerses us in an eerie, otherworldly world of sound. Franck's "Prélude, Fugue et Variation" offers a reflection on the journey of the soul, while Bach-Siloti's Prelude in B minor sounds like a timeless, universal hymn.
