Violina Petrychenko’s album »Slavic Nobility« juxtaposes works by Alexander Scriabin and Kosenko for good reason: they are kindred spirits, who, particularly in the absence of late Scriabin, were undeniably influenced by the ornamental character of Chopin. The two Poèmes, Op. 32, by Scriabin are reflected by two Poèmes Légendes, Op. 12 (1921), by Kosenko; Scriabin’s three early Mazurkas, Op. 3, by Kosenko’s three Mazurkas, Op. 3 (1916–23); and the ambitious program culminates in Scriabin’s Second Sonata, Op. 19, and Kosenko’s Second Sonata, Op. 14 (1924). Technically, and with regard to the flexible nuance of touch, Violina Petrychenko proves herself to be an ambitious, serious, and warmly empathetic performer who has something to say and does not succumb to mechanical routine.
