Symphony no. 1 / The Poem of Ecstasy

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & Российский национальный оркестр & Mikhail Pletnev

Symphony No. 1 and The Poem of Ecstasy are orchestral works by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, composed in 1899 and 1908 respectively. The first reflects his late-Romantic roots with conventional orchestration and formal melodic processes, while The Poem of Ecstasy exhibits a shift towards a more colouristic, harmonically adventurous and mystical language with expanded orchestral textures that foreshadows his later atonal explorations.
First released: 3rd July 2015
