vanishing as well as existing

史克里亞賓，一個崇拜蕭邦，而後來轉為神祕主義的俄國作曲家。This documentary on the unconventional life and ground-breaking music of Russian pianist and composer Alexander Scriabin sheds light on the mystical ideas which inspired him. He became consumed by a vision of a union of the arts, a coalescence of music, words, movement, light, colour and ideas , to create transcendent experiences. Contributors to his fascinating exploration of the composer’s life and work are musicians Vladimir Ashkenazy阿胥肯納吉, Vladimir Horowitz霍洛維茲, Mikhail Pletnev普雷特涅夫 and Scriabin’s daughter Marina.
