Three exceptional talents come together to create something truly special in a new series featuring paintings by Isaak Levitan, preludes by Alexander Scriabin, and performances by Maria Lettberg. This collaboration brings together 446 paintings by Levitan and 29 preludes by Scriabin, all brought to life through the expressive and masterful piano playing of Maria Lettberg.
Isaak Levitan, a classical Russian landscape painter and draftsman, is considered one of the greatest masters of realistic art in the late 19th century. His works capture the beauty and tranquility of the Russian countryside, often evoking a sense of nostalgia and melancholy.
Alexander Scriabin, a famous Russian composer and pianist, was known for his innovative approach to music. He was a pioneer in the concept of “light music”, exploring the connection between sound, color, and emotion in his compositions. His preludes are filled with lush harmonies and dazzling virtuosity, reflecting his philosophical approach to music.
Maria Lettberg, a Swedish pianist currently based in Berlin, is a recognized interpreter of Scriabin’s music. From a young age, she showed exceptional talent on the piano and received formal training at prestigious conservatories in St. Petersburg and Stockholm. Her performances are known for their sensitivity, technical precision, and emotional depth.
This series promises to be a feast for the senses, combining the visual beauty of Levitan’s paintings with the emotional depth and complexity of Scriabin’s preludes, all brought to life through Maria Lettberg’s extraordinary piano playing. It offers a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of art forms and the transcendent power of music and visual art.
