Five Elements Vol. 1: Acqua (music By Scriabin, Liszt,
The indissoluble bond between art and nature is the framework in which this project moves, a fascinating yet infinite
search among the five elements: water, earth, air, fire and ether. In this personal symbolic-visionary journey, water is
the beginning. Alexander Scriabins Sonate-Fantaisie is also known as the 'Sonata of the Three Seas', since the Baltic,
the Black and the Mediterranean Seas became its inspiring vision. Between 1835 and 1882 Franz Liszt composed the
collection Les Annes de pèlerinage. In its third and final book, Les Jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este is the result of his
sojourns in the enchantment of Tivoli. In 1901, Maurice Ravel composed his own version of Jeux d'eau as a tribute to
Liszt's piece, which left an indelible mark on the world of music. Ravels Une barque sur l'ocan, dedicated to the
painter Paul Sordes, tells of a boat gliding over the oceans waves; his triptych Gaspard de la nuit is inspired by a
collection of prose ballads written in 1836 by Louis Bertrand. Both La Cathdrale engloutie (from the first book of
Claude Debussys Prludes of 1910) and Reflets dans l'eau (from his suite Images of 1905) reveal his unique search for
tone and colour. By way of conclusion, Debussys L'isle joyeuse is inspired by the painting L'embarquement pour Cythère
by Antoine Watteau.
