Music reviews of Scriabin: Symphonies (Complete); Le Poème de l'extase; Prométhée

Music Review: Sublime and "mystical" music
Rating: 5 Stars

I had the opportunity to sing in the "Prométhée, le poème du feu" a few years ago and that was an awesome experience for me! The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra played all the Scriabin symphonies and orchestral works at a festival a few years ago. I was lucky enough to be in the choir for the Prométhée performance.

Scriabin's music has been described as "atonal impressionism". I guess that is as good a term as any. Just know that his music is strange, sublime, unrestrained, shamelessly weird at times, passionate, spooky, ecstatic and profoundly beautiful, too.

I guess that many will find that Scriabin's music reminds them a little of the big orchestral works of Olivier Messiaen, such as the "Turangalîla Symphonie", or, indeed, sci-fi film music! No, I'm not joking!

Riccardo Muti and The Philadelphia Orchestra do wonderful things with all these symphonies and "pseudo-symphonies" {the Prométhée is a little like a symphony, a little like a piano concerto and a little like a "revival meeting"!).

If you're after a very complete set of the orchestral works of Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin, look no further!
