Symphony no. 3, op. 43, Divine Poem

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & BBC Symphony Orchestra & Sir John Pritchard

Symphony No. 3, Op. 43, often titled The Poem of Ecstasy, is the third symphony by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, completed in 1904. Musically it blends late-Romantic orchestral writing with Scriabin's emerging mystical harmonic language, featuring rich orchestration, pervasive chromaticism and expansive thematic development, and it occupies a pivotal position between his earlier romantic works and his later, more dissonant and colour-focused compositions.
