- This is Volume 2 of our complete recording or Scriabin's haunting Preludes with the gifted Paul Komen, who received such excellent reviews for Scriabin Preludes Vol. 1 (GLO 5088) as well as for his double-CD with Piano works by Federico Mompou (GLO 6004) from all over the world.
- Together the two Scriabin CDs contain the absolutely complete Preludes by the Russian master and as such they are unique in the current CD catalogue, since there is no other complete recording of these master pieces available.
- On Vol. 1 there are 42 Preludes and the now appearing Vol. 2 offers no less than 48 Preludes. All this makes this issue a very major contribution to the Scriabin discography.
- "Komen is an imaginative interpreter who revels in the evanescent, kaleidoscopic quality of these early Scriabin gems. He is extremely well recorded" (American Record Guide)
Paul Komen made his debut at the age of 13 with a radio recording of works by Bach and Scriabin. He then studied at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam with Jan Wijn. During his studies he took part in several master classes, which resulted in 1978 in his first gramophone recordlng. In 1981 he made his English debut at the Wigmore Hall in London. In 1982 Paul Komen finished his studies at the Sweelinck Conservatory cum laude and received a grant from the German Academic Exchange Services to continue his studies with Professor Hans Leygraf in Hanover. In 1984 he made his debut at the Amsterdam Concert-gebouw as soloist with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sergio Comissiona. In 1985 he finished his studies in Hanover with the Solisten-Diplom, again cum laude. In 1986 he received a grant from the Dutch government to study with György Sandor in New York and with György Szebök in Bloomington, lndiana. In 1988 he was invited to perform at the prestigious International piano festival of La Roque d'Anthéron in France. In 1989 Paul Komen made his American debut at Carnegie Hall in New York and at the National Gallery in Washington.
