CD Reviews

Sublime and "mystical" music

Steven Guy | Croydon, South Australia | 11/25/2006

(5 out of 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!"

Towerling Achievement!

"
Originally released by EMI, these towerling performance of Scriabin's orchestral masterpieces remains as one of the greatest achievements by Muti and Philadelphia Orchestra. Especailly the third Symphony and Poem of Ecstasy surpass all existing recordings for its gorgeous sound, masterful timing of silence at crucial moments, gigantic finale and incandescent build-up to each climax. Only Pletnev's account of the Ecstasy can rival the grandeur.

Other symphonies are equally outstanding too. The first symphony is hugely under-rated masterpiece, full of inspired melodies and superb vocal parts. What a shame Scriabin did not write more for voice! Rich Philadelphia sound is beautifully recorded with warmth and amazing dynamic range."
