Channeling Scriabin
Pianist Xiayin Wang dives into beauty and tragedy.
By Brian Wise

He added directions in his scores like “poisonously” and “satanically” and composed erotically charged pieces like Desire, Danced Caress and Sensual Delights.

Exclusive Interview with Xiayin Wang: November 30, 2010
On Wednesday, November 17, 2010, Artistic Director Nolan Gasser spoke with budding Chinese pianist Xiayin Wang, whose debut Chandos release is dedicated to the piano music of Earl Wild - most especially his transcriptions of music by George Gershwin, but also his quite original Piano Sonata. In this fascinating interview, Ms. Wang discusses the path leading to this rather unusual choice for a solo disc, and her great enthusiasm and natural affinity for the jazz-hued music of this distinctly American composer, who passed away earlier this year. The two also discuss Ms. Wang's highly acclaimed previous solo piano album - an all-Scriabin program on the Naxos label that brought out her self-described "evil side"; as well as her invaluable pedagogical background in both Shanghai and New York, her upcoming recording plans, her passion for raising awareness of classical music to a younger generation, and much more. Don't miss this great interview with a forthcoming piano titan.
