• The Chinese pianist Chen Yunjie, now reaching mid-career having had a prodigious start, is among the few players in the world to have performed the 10 sonatas of Scriabin in one concert. That may sound like a Guinness world record kind of feat, but Chen’s live recording of Scriabin’s Sonatas Nos 6, 1, 8 and 5 (Accentus) suggests dedication indeed to this singular, sensuous body of music: romantic in the earlier examples, then spinning off into aural and structural fantasy. Chen calls the Sonata No 8, Op 66 his favourite (it was the last Scriabin composed). Its single-movement structure, melancholic and phantasmagorical, captures the pianist’s imagination and draws the best of his playing.

This disc is one of a batch released by Accentus Music in partnership with the Académie France-Chine, launched last year to help build cultural bridges between Europe and China. You might find a wider palette of colours, the bigger artistic imaginations, in the Scriabin of Marc-André Hamelin or Garrick Ohlsson or, further back, Vladimir Ashkenazy or John Ogdon. Yet Chen plays with such evident devotion, he too wins you over.

• Mariam Batsashvili, 26, currently a BBC New Generation artist, won the Franz Liszt Piano Competition in 2014. The composer’s music forms the backbone of this Georgian pianist’s debut disc, Chopin, Liszt (Warner). Her technical prowess and ability to negotiate Liszt’s showy grandeur is a given, but her sense of his inner world, his wistful, nonchalant poetry – in the Grande études in A flat or the Consolations (Pensées poétiques) or the Polish Songs after Chopin – sets her apart as one to watch. She’s at the Proms playing Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto tonight.
