Symphony no. 2 in C minor, op. 29 / Rêverie, op. 24

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Neeme Järvi

This recording pairs Alexander Scriabin's second symphony with a short piano rêverie, the orchestral work completed in 1902 and the piano piece composed in the late 1890s. The symphony demonstrates late-Romantic orchestration and expanding chromaticism as Scriabin moved towards a more individual harmonic language, while the piano piece reflects his earlier lyrical intimacy and foreshadows harmonic ideas he would develop later in his career.
First released: 1986
