Spotlight CD Review Pamela Celeste Weber's recording offers 12 of the 24 Preludes which make up Scriabin's Op. 11. She has clearly chosen those Preludes which best reflect her CD's theme, Longings For Home, also expressed in a moving poem by the pianist in the accompanying booklet. Scriabin, who was a lifelong spiritual seeker, was later given to mystical excesses in his music. But not in these early Preludes. Pamela Celeste Weber finds a spare melancholy and steady yearning in the pieces she has selected. She explores these moods with a scrupulously clean, lyrical articulation and beautiful singing tone with which she weaves her fabric. She brings a prayerful solemnity to several of the Preludes, but also can let loose the occasional passionate outburst (No. 20), clearly in command of Scriabin's rich chordal harmonies. The CD itself is attractively produced with photographs of the artist and her dog on the Lavender Farm in Oregon which she now calls home. If you want music to listen to while you contemplate your own Longings For Home and what that may mean for you, this collection would be a good choice.
