Scriabin: Symphony No. 1 / The Poem of Ecstasy

Scriabin: Symphony No. 1 / The Poem of Ecstasy
- Classical
In 1899, Scriabin began writing his most ambitious composition to date: the First Symphony. The work still reflects the influence of the traditional four-movement formal scheme. But Scriabin also framed the symphony with an introductory movement in a slow tempo and a monumental choral finale with a text of his own composition, and it is this movement that can be said to occupy the works interpretational centre of gravity. Le PoÃ¨me de lextase debuted in New York on 10 December 1908, after a performance in Russia had to be cancelled due to the difficulty of the score. When the Russian premiÃ¨re finally did take place, on 1 February 1909, it wound up being a true spectacle, as Sergei Prokofiev, then a young composition student in attendance, later testified. Conductor Mikhail Pletnev leads the Russian National Orchestra the Moscow-based ensemble he founded in 1990.
