Nothing like carrying around false presuppositions. It never occurred to me that Scriabin would have composed such a work. Thus, I avoided listening to his works because my false notions. Glad I took a chance to find I was wrong. This was awesome!
The entire symphony is wonderful, but the last ten minutes are so glorious that I cannot help myself from replaying this section over and over again, sometimes ten times in succession. A powerful performance, played with passion.
The same happens to me. My favorite recording used to be that of conductor Evgeny Svetlanov (the first one I heard in the 70s), due to a slight difference in the timbre of the metals probably made in Russia; but I recently heard Andrew Litton's recording with the Galicia Symphony and it pleased me a lot. Another great Russian work also from the beginning of the 20th century is Gliere's Symphony No. 3. In this one I usually repeat the initial 5 minutes of the last movement that reminds me a lot of a "fugue".
Hello Marco, I absolutely agree with you! The piece is a fantastic journey to the soul of one of the most enigmatic and personal composers of all times...and an epic end!
among many compositions of all ages and many now famous musicians and known by all of us, this is one of the largest and most beautiful symphonies between many compositions of equal merit of classical music, only now, after years and years of listening and study this symphony, beginning to grasp the deep thick harmonic and melodic that the musician wanted, as of now I have not had the opportunity to be able to play and not to live it in person, I hope that I can get closer and closer to the deep sense that this symphony expresses.
I just recently opened my heart to scriabin and my how the tears of joy over the absolutely masterful command of the orchestral forces are able to move my cold hearted stance on symphonic music!
What a pity there wasn't multiple camera coverage on this excellent (and rare) performance. But isn't it great that it was recorded with quite decent audio, and isn't it great that it was recorded - full stop! Thank you for this wonderful rarity.
Dear Vladislav, thanks very much for your opinion. I am very glad if we were able to convey some of the greatness and darkness of Sriabins fantastic world.
42:39 Its like whole world around You takes lungfull of breath at this exact momemt... ...only to release it with ineffable bliss at 42:43. Gets me e v e r y time.
@Aleksandr Buyanov: (sorry for not replying in Russian) I do agree, but you should see the older recordings from this hall with Mravinsky - they were all very conductor-centric. Great performance though; and I love the fact that the orchestra still hasn't lost its typical brass sound.
Me molesta un poco el trabajo de cámara del director o encargado de este video, está inmóvil en un solo frame y no se puede apreciar el trabajo de todos los ejecutantes, he visto en otros videos que el enfoque es diferente y varia la atención al grupo de instrumentos dependiendo de la intensidad de la composición. Eso para mi es todo un placer más con composiciones como esta. Es solo una observación.
Фонограмма хорошая, а вот операторская работа слабая: вполне можно было показать вступления духовых инструментов, в частности, кларнетов, в самом начале симфонии, потом подключение к ним флейт и прочих инструментов. Это не совсем хорошо, когда в кадре долгое время "торчит" дирижёр.
amazing. Can't believe i had to go to brahm's youtube video to comment "Brahms sucks. Viva la scriabin" lol and can't believe the # of idiots who don't know scriabin and how much better he is.
Скрябин это глыба,причем Русская...сгусток красоты и энергии..его сложно понять,но если понял,то это навсегда
Bellezza assoluta, abbagliante! Approdo a tanta maestosità…11 anni dopo che il video è stato postato! E non in verde età! Ma ci sono arrivata! 😊

I was of the same self imposed opinion..but wow how glorious!

Listen to 2nd part of this symphony. There are nearly Ragtime rhytm + blues scale!!! 07:02
I love the way the main subject permeates every movement and reaches a majestic crescendo in the final movement
I really enjoyed watching the conductor, precise and logical! Awesome work by Scriabin
Excellent performance of an excellent piece. You nailed the feeling of triumph in the ending.

Здесь русский дух,здесь Русью пахнет.....

Energetic and balanced performance. I have enjoyed listening to it. Great conducting technique, looks natural.
Dear Vladislav, thanks very much for your opinion. I am very glad if we were able to convey some of the greatness and darkness of Sriabins fantastic world.
Thank You for this moment shared in Excellence! There is simply no better therapy for our minds and souls, at this moment in the history of our world!
To know and understand a little about A. Scriabin is to respect and love the man and composer Scriabin. 🌷🌷🌷🌄

A rarity, thaks.
rare piece
Тончайший композитор, но его мир- фортепианная музыка. В ней он такой, какой он и был. А в симфонической он таков, каким пытался казаться.
It’s a very unusual performance space but the sound seems strong and the reverberation is substantial. Limited seating capacity I would think, though.
Me molesta un poco el trabajo de cámara del director o encargado de este video, está inmóvil en un solo frame y no se puede apreciar el trabajo de todos los ejecutantes, he visto en otros videos que el enfoque es diferente y varia la atención al grupo de instrumentos dependiendo de la intensidad de la composición.

Se llama música, la hacen para escuchar, no para ir mirando planos de éste o el otro músico.
was fuer einen glorreichen Schluss.......

"Это не совсем хорошо,"
Это совсем НЕхорошо!

Hope this is a joke... One thing for sure, someone who actually knows how to appreciate music wouldn't do such a thing
