Tom Borrow plays Scriabin's Piano Sonata No 5 in F sharp.

Chamber music from Radio 3's New Generation Artists: Tom Borrow plays Scriabin's Piano Sonata No 5 in F sharp, and Ema Nikolovska sings Martinů's folk-inspired Nový Špalíček.

Tom Borrow plays Scriabin and Ema Nikolovska sings Martinů.

The Anglo-Israeli pianist, Tom Borrow is heard in a recent recording he made at the BBC studios of Scriabin's fiendishly difficult Fifth Sonata. Written soon after his orchestral epic The Poem of Ecstasy, the sonata touches on similar ideas. Scriabin wrote of the sonata: "It is a big poem for piano and I deem it the best composition I have ever written. I do not know by what miracle I accomplished it." After that, Ema Nikolovska sings four of Martinu's folk-inflected songs - with an accordion for accompaniment - with texts taken from a treasury of fairy tales.
