Symphonies nos. 1 & 2

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & London Symphony Orchestra & Valery Gergiev

Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 is a recording of orchestral works by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, composed between 1899 and 1902. The works sit within the late-Romantic orchestral tradition, featuring lush orchestration, expanded chromaticism and an evolving harmonic language that anticipates Scriabin's later mystical and more experimental terrain, representing his early development in large-scale orchestral writing and a transition from his piano-centred output.
