Ju sees Ravel's music not only as virtuosity, but as a study of fear.
The mood shifts again with Mozart's Lacrimosa from Requiem, arranged by Ju for solo piano. Stripped of its chorus and orchestra, the familiar work becomes deeply intimate — a solitary voice expressing grief.
The album then reaches further back in time with John Dowland's song In Darkness Let Me Dwell, before culminating in Alexander Scriabin's Piano Sonata No 7, known as the "White Mass". One of the composer's most visionary and spiritually charged works, it depicts not a narrative but a process of purification, transformation, and transcendence.
The album ends not with disappearance, but with release.
With its mystical intensity and explosive energy, Scriabin's sonata reverses the album's emotional descent.
