Poem of Ecstasy / Prometheus: Poem of Fire

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & Houston Symphony & Leopold Stokowski & Большой симфонический оркестр имени П. И. Чайковского & Nikolai Golovanov

Poem of Ecstasy and Prometheus: Poem of Fire are orchestral works by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, completed in 1908 and 1910 respectively. They exemplify Scriabin's late mystical style, employing dense chromatic harmony, expansive orchestration and an emphasis on colour and atmosphere that marked a shift from his earlier piano-centred output and anticipated his explorations of synaesthetic and transcendental ideas in music.
