Symphony no. 3 “The Divine Poem” / Poem of Ecstasy

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & The Moscow Symphony Orchestra & Igor Golovschin

Symphony No. 3, 'The Divine Poem', is an orchestral work by Alexander Scriabin completed in 1904. The piece blends late-Romantic orchestral textures with Scriabin's emerging mystical harmonic language, featuring extensive chromaticism, blurred tonal centres and luminous orchestration, and represents a key turning point toward his later, more harmonically adventurous and symbolically driven compositions.
First released: September 1997
