Scriabin. 10 sonatas
Peter Laul, piano

Peter Laul, St.Petersburg graduate and post-graduate, can be deemed to be a poster boy for Petersburg’s piano school.

His sold out Russian and international tours are always success. Laul’s recital performances have taken him to the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Halls, the Symphony Hall of the Mariinsky Theater, the Moscow Conservatory Halls, the Moscow Tchaikovsky Hall and the new Moscow International House of Music. Abroad he has performed in the Auditorium du Louvre, the Théâtre de la Ville, Théâtre du Châtelet and the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, Salle Moliere and Opera Lyon, the Lincoln Center in New York, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Vredenburg in Utrecht, Casino Basel, Die Glocke in Bremen, the Montpellier Corum, the Opera City Hall in Tokyo, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Hall, Le Theatre de la Monnaie in Brussels and in numerous venues and festivals throughout Russia, Europe, Japan and the USA.

His breakthrough performance happened in 2000 during the Scriabin International Piano Competition in Moscow; he won the 1st prize.

“It’s only natural that it was Peter Laul who got the first prize. Though the pianist from St. Petersburg is younger than his rivals, he is a seasoned musician who is already acclaimed in his native city. Maturity, will, and taste are his distinctive features, as well as sense of large form”, “Izvestia” newspaper stated.

Today, Peter Laul is recognized as one of the best interpreters of Scriabin. In February 2018, pianist was honored to perform at Scriabin’s museum – it was the concert to commemorate 100 years of the museum.

“When I play Scriabin’s music, I simply enjoy the sheer process of playing, the way those harmonies sound, the uniqueness of musical texture, it’s responsiveness, lightness, tartness”, the musician says. “Scriabin is known to eschew anybody else’s music but his own in his letter days. Well, if the composer wrote things like that, it’s understandable. Because Scriabin’s universe is truly unique, there’s nothing like this”.

In Zaryadye Hall, Peter Laul performs Scriabin piano solo pieces.
