He offered me the wonders of manufacturing industries, which are every bit as great and high minded as the greatest in music. Manufacturing industries come first, before music, if music is to be brought to everybody, not just to the royalty and the rich.
not that many of us in this world know that much about scriabin... I wish there was a Scriabin appreciation society where we get to meet each other and be friends with each other... that would make life better I guarantee.
known fact that's highly unlikely. When's the last time you've met a hot chick that actually likes music that's made for ears? women want to belong in things that are popular. So if a song is good but not popular, they will not like it. It's sort of psychological. Quite sad i would say. If it's a Mozart society then it is much more likely we'll see some hot ladies in there but Scriabin? no one's even heard of him AHEM...
I was just having some fun but you do raise a point about men's musical tastes vs. women's. In classical or rock, men are more likely to search out obscure, complex works while women go with the flow, more popular, romantic stuff. I think they just have different things on their minds. Odd because women are just as likely to have musical talent, singing or playing (but again, men seem to do most of the composing in any genre).

One of the greatest symphonies of all time. What I'd give to have lived in the 19th Century. Guess we're just going to have to create a Neo-Romantic movement right here in the 21st Century.

The year this was composed marked the beginning of one living hell of a century for the world (1900, first half at least). Whenever I come back to this symphony, I do feel its being liminal, "edgy", in its literal sense. Only, I can't tell whether it's a farewell to the romantic 1800s or a welcome to a new mysterious world. Or both :) who cares, it's just a mental stretch. Amazing work.
Appreciate this pieces in the Scriabin late style! czcams.com/video/mz5lSLvuUSc/video.html and czcams.com/video/nEOSPz9gB9s/video.html This year, January 6 marked the 150th anniversary of the Birth of Alexander Nikolaevich Scriabin. He is the person closest to me and beloved by me in the whole world of art, a composer who immerses with his magical music into the worlds of "the highest refinement and the highest grandeur." Having deeply passed through all his work, I learned to thoroughly reproduce the elements of the Scriabin style. In particular, the style of the works of his late creative period, sounding extraordinary, otherworldly, mystical... Using specific means, first of all harmony (as well as texture and tempo), I can "scriabe" any piece, melody or motive accordingly, without changing at all or almost without changing the notes of the melodic line of the original. And despite the fact that in this case I didn't even change a single note of the melody of the original holiday song "Happy birthday to you" czcams.com/video/nEOSPz9gB9s/video.html , in the end it sounds completely different: now it's not a "home holiday", but the image of a nervous-impetuous strong-willed flame characteristic of Scriabin! Also I "enchanted" the famous Christmas song "Jingle bells" czcams.com/video/mz5lSLvuUSc/video.html into a figurative sphere characteristic of Scriabin: now it is the most refined cosmic longing, gradually ecstatically excited, and then melting away...
Now really, what does this farrafo of nonsense mean? And why use a crass, vulgar city like Las Vegas as a metaphor for a work and a composer of such refinement? And a cruise line, an oversized ship filled with common people who stuff their faces, gamble and play mindless deck games. Poor Skryabin!

This is not the Scriabin that I was exposed to in my puny music education pilgrimage. I would have paid more attention to him had I known of this kind of composition.
How wonderful still and forever, I’ve listened to Scriabin for about thirty years now and it’s the same euphoric paradise encounter every time. He was a mate with Sergei Rachmaninoff at the Moscow Conservatory at that time. Both were blessed by a divine spark, I’m stunned, how is it possible? Remember it was cold Russian winters the piano studio wasn’t prepared warm and suitable for these gods, but they mastered the ice and cold obstacles all the way through and gave us this divine music, I cannot believe it has happened. Actually seven years before our own grand national master Edvard Grieg died. He may have inspired the two selected gentlemen
I'd say that Muti is gorgeous in this interpretation of Scriabin! I didn't know this part of his repertoire, and I think I like him more than in his opera repertoire

How have I never heard this before?! I know of his piano concerto, but never knew he composed a symphony. Glad I stumbled upon it as it's an amazing piece.
Coincido con tu interrogante inicial, y tu reflexión: me estaba perdiendo esta maravilla!! Admiro profundamente a todos los compositores rusos, desde el Grupo de los 5, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, y toda la riqueza artística en general de esa nación!!
I've heard work by Scriabin before; at least I recognize his name! But this is my first time to listen to this magnificent work. I'm not musical myself, so it is difficult for me to conceive of the ear and mind it takes to create such intricate music at such length. I can only take a deep breath, and applaud. Thanks for uploading this...and how I missed it over the years I don't know.
H. ¿Hay otros mundos? No sabía yo eso!!! Dime por favor por dónde quedan....y háblanos un poco sobre sus compositores y esa música de la que haces mención. Gracias por anticipado, H.
Your lack of appreciation for other composers won't make Scriabin more famous than he is now. I certainly agree that he deserves better recognition, but don't be that narrow-minded fanboy who annoys everyone by insulting and making pointless statements about great people like Mahler (just to mention that I am far from Mahlerian fan, or at least not yet). Leave this obsession to yourself and maybe after getting over it try something else, or maybe the majority of classical music just isn't for you. By the way, extraordinary symphony!
Ilyan McCann I've tried many things. Probably more things than you have. Maybe you're right that I'm picky. I also listen to EDM and have found myself to only like Trance (not too surprised since they share similar elements with Scriabin). I do have a very specific personal taste but it bothers me that there are passages that do not speak to me at all from Brahms and Mahler yet those are the passages in their symphonies (which I find boring and want to leave/pause at once) that 90% of the people would enjoy and talk about and be putting Scriabin under shadow. That's not cool with me at all. I will fight and talk condescendingly of Mahler and Brahms. Scriabin will gain (even just a little more) popularity because of me. Good thing we live in an era where there's youtube and we can freely express our opinions and comments.
Ilyan McCann my "narrow-mindedness" is not due to ignorance nor having not ever tried other things besides Scriabin. The ones who see me as narrow-minded are usually the ones who have only been exposed to a limited amount of kinds of music out there in the world. And frankly enough most of them wouldn't know this guy: Myaskovsky. Or Frank Bridge. You ask anyone who's their favorite 20th century composer, they'll usually say bartok boulez stravinsky and you know the pattern. It's a shame what the academic circle in music are doing to the community.
The key point is that Mahler and Brahms have nothing to do with the unfortunate lesser popularity of Scriabin. So by attacking them, the only thing you will achieve is a negative reaction toward yourself and possibly even your beloved composer. Obviously negative popularity shouldn't be attached to anyone and I assume this is not your goal. All I'm saying is that such approach is seriously flawed (so try finding another one), although the intention is quite noble and I support it. Also, has it occurred to you that you're among the very few people that find those passages boring or without any value? Meaning there is a reason for others to like them so much and by this statement I'm certainly not saying "popular is better". It means that great compositions deserve the appreciation they get precisely because of their quality. Another thing - if you want to pause and leave the page with a particular video - go ahead, this is exactly the thing you should do! Finally comes the ''narrow-minded" part which is directed at your lack of ability to distinguish personal preference (or the absence of it) from accurate statement. Trying to impose your musical taste on others by such naive (at best) means is certainly bound to achieving the exact opposite of the desired effect. There shouldn't be any contradiction about liking (or at least respecting) both Brahms and Scriabin (for example) - stating the opposite is "narrow-minded" (here we go again). Wish you all the luck with effectively popularizing Scriabin! P.S. Don't judge by my CZcams profile for the things I have or haven't tried. (Excuse my bad English)
Recién descubro la música de este compositor 🎼 y l verdad es una música bien construida estructurada muy bonita excelente sinfonía skrabin ya tienes un admirador más 🍀
Incredible rendition of surely, one of the greatest symphonies ever composed. The tempo was perfect and the diction in the final movement was terrific given that they weren’t native Russian speakers- i’ve seen some otherwise phenomenal renditions ruined by the diction. This assuredly isn’t in that category. Truly, слава искусству (glory to art)!
I had to fight tooth and nail with my otherwise beloved piano teacher to study Scriabin's preludes, etudes and sonatas. 'But he's insane! Worse than Schumann!' (She was very Bach, Beethoven, Brahms.) But after I'd learned a few pieces, and played for her, she paid me the supreme compliment of giving me a set of his complete preludes and etudes, inscribed, 'If you love this, there must be something good in it!'
Our local classical radio station plays the most dreadful music throughout the night. I end up turning the radio off. I'm thinking it would be wonderful to meet the night listening to this and his other symphonies.
Alexandre Nikolaïevitch Scriabine ou Skriabin (en russe : Александр Николаевич Скрябин) est un pianiste, poète et compositeur russe né à Moscou le 25 décembre 1871 (6 janvier 1872 dans le calendrier grégorien) et mort à Moscou le 14 avril 1915 (27 avril 1915 dans le calendrier grégorien). Il est l'un des animateurs les plus importants de la musique moderne et de l'avant-garde musicale à l'aube de la Première guerre mondiale, et il est souvent considéré comme l'un des compositeurs les plus marquants du début du xxe siècle. Personnalité singulière, animée par un refus de toute référence au folklore russe (notion pourtant essentielle chez ses contemporains Balakirev ou Rimsky-Korsakov), Scriabine a accompagné son œuvre d'une philosophie et d'une religiosité profondément marquées par le symbolisme de Baudelaire en France et de Konstantin Balmont dans l'Empire russe. Ses pièces, presque toutes pour piano (à l'exception de six opus pour orchestre), évoluent progressivement d'un style proche de Chopin et de Wagner à une esthétique individuelle, dont le premier aboutissement est l'accord « mystique » ou « synthétique » qu'on retrouve dans Prométhée et Vers la flamme en 1911. Cet accord synthétique n'est lui-même qu'une ouverture au Mystère, auquel Scriabine travailla de 1903 jusqu'à sa mort et dont il ne reste que des fragments inachevés, récupérés et ré-organisés par Ziloti : les quelques traces de ce Mystère, œuvre multimédia qui aurait dû être le cœur d'une vaste cérémonie mystique, représentent sans doute l'aboutissement harmonique auquel Scriabine avait abouti, et dans lequel il aurait pu continuer à écrire sans sa mort accidentelle à l'âge de 43 ans. Longtemps incompris des critiques et du public, ce mystique de l'extase influencé par la théosophie et la synesthésie laisse une œuvre profondément originale d'où se détachent un corpus imposant de dix sonates pour piano, trois symphonies, deux poèmes symphoniques (Poème de l'extase et Prométhée ou le Poème du feu) et de nombreuses pièces pour piano au style atypique.
Desde que tuve la fortuna de escuchar el concierto para piano, descubrí el mundo musical extraordinario de Scriabin. Verdaderamente el último movimiento hace alucinar tanto o más que el propio Mahler. Toda la obra es un auténtico monumento!!
Como ilustración le hubiera ido más algún cuadro perteneciente a la corriente simbolista, pues Scriabin fue un compositor perteneciente a ese Movimiento en el que el misticismo,lo metafísico , el espiritualismo y lo onírico juegan, como en sus composiciones, un papel básico e insustituible. Por otra parte Scriabin fue un magnífico compositor que a pesar de sus creencias esotéricas y místicas nunca descuidó la naturaleza del Arte y la técnica que lo sostiene.
Oh, this is insanely lyrical and beautiful ! I thought of Rachmaninov's Second Symphony (they both feature great tunes, though, their harmonic styles seem different). With Scriabin's harmony here, one can almost link it to a line that connects Wagner to Strauss, Debussy, Delius, Bax, and the Austro-Hungarians of Scriabin's time (Mahler, Schoenberg, von Zemlinsky, von Hausseger, Schreker, and Marx). But, some melodies here have the emotional immediacy of Rachmaninov, Puccini, and Korngold !
@@steveegallo3384 Hello, Stevee; I could hear some of the resemblance: they are both very lush, with great tunes, and colorful orchestration. Thanks for the recommendation on Gliere's Symphony !

He is the person closest to me and beloved by me in the whole world of art, a composer who immerses with his magical music into the worlds of "the highest refinement and the highest grandeur." Having deeply passed through all his work, I learned to thoroughly reproduce the elements of the Scriabin style. In particular, the style of the works of his late creative period, sounding extraordinary, otherworldly, mystical...
Using specific means, first of all harmony (as well as texture and tempo), I can "scriabe" any piece, melody or motive accordingly, without changing at all or almost without changing the notes of the melodic line of the original.
And despite the fact that in this case I didn't even change a single note of the melody of the original holiday song "Happy birthday to you" czcams.com/video/nEOSPz9gB9s/video.html
, in the end it sounds completely different: now it's not a "home holiday", but the image of a nervous-impetuous strong-willed flame characteristic of Scriabin!
Also I "enchanted" the famous Christmas song "Jingle bells" czcams.com/video/mz5lSLvuUSc/video.html into a figurative sphere characteristic of Scriabin: now it is the most refined cosmic longing, gradually ecstatically excited, and then melting away...
This symphony has one of my favorite endings ever.
I came here from Friar's Rubbing Wood: Fall of Nottingham and got a hell of a lot more than I bargained for.
Same.
That finale feels like you're seeing your own hometown being fried by the sun while you're on a cruiseline bound for Las Vegas.
"leaving Nottingham so soon almost makes you wish for a solar flare." -Robin Hood 1973
When you're about to commit a sin but is ok because Jesus died for our sins and one more won't hurt
"LONG LIVE NOTTINGHAM!"
All because some kid stole his ice pop at the Ara Ara Turd. This could have all been avoided.
Now really, what does this farrafo of nonsense mean? And why use a crass, vulgar city like Las Vegas as a metaphor for a work and a composer of such refinement? And a cruise line, an oversized ship filled with common people who stuff their faces, gamble and play mindless deck games. Poor Skryabin!
So fabulous. So beautiful. Transcendent.
I feel like im flying... listening to this. wow.
pongo bewindow listen to sonata no 2 mvt 1 - very similar soaring quality!
@@BostonBum15 by Chopin?
Logan Scheffler I was thinking Scriabin actually, but maybe that Chopin can lend a similar quality in places as well
@@BigZapdos I don't think Chopin no. 2 has the floating feeling. Maybe the 3rd, but not the 2nd.

The first movement really is so beautiful, incredible. Just...reminds me of the book 'Three Body Problem', something so ethereal about it.
Check out my CZcams channel. I used a little bit of that music in one of my poetry readings, "I May Forget". I just now uploaded it.
Eine traumhafte Musik!
I love this sublime symphonia,. the ending is sublime and powerfull. I love Scriabin. God bless Scriabin in the Heaven
I love Scriabin ' s music and have played his compositions for the piano. His symphonies are not disappointing.
Cada día que descubro más de Scriabin, me gusta más y más.
❤
My music teacher advised me to listen to this 50 years ago. I never had the chance to thank him!
Did anyone else discover the last piece of this beautiful music

This work is so powerful... one of Scriabin's finest compositions
I am in love with this symphony! Thanks for the share, never before have I liked modern orchestral music like this before.
Скрябин жил в начале 20 века...
This is not the Scriabin that I was exposed to in my puny music education pilgrimage. I would have paid more attention to him had I known of this kind of composition.
How wonderful still and forever, I’ve listened to Scriabin for about thirty years now and it’s the same euphoric paradise encounter every time. He was a mate with Sergei Rachmaninoff at the Moscow Conservatory at that time. Both were blessed by a divine spark, I’m stunned, how is it possible? Remember it was cold Russian winters the piano studio wasn’t prepared warm and suitable for these gods, but they mastered the ice and cold obstacles all the way through and gave us this divine music, I cannot believe it has happened. Actually seven years before our own grand national master Edvard Grieg died. He may have inspired the two selected gentlemen
Belleza armoniosa muy sensual ...mas emotiva que otro sinfonista!!....para mi !!!!
Grieg was one of Rachmaninoff's favorite composers, his first piano concerto is inspired by Grieg's.
A true genius.Beautiful.
I'd say that Muti is gorgeous in this interpretation of Scriabin! I didn't know this part of his repertoire, and I think I like him more than in his opera repertoire
This is a spectacular work indeed.
This is so unbelievably wonderful. I am addicted to it. Thank you so very much for posting it.
Me too!

I start listening to this and all of a sudden I felt a majestic sense of this life. Now I see why. Thank you, sir, for posting this.
Scriabin music is at least a century ahead of his time.
More
When i heard him from the very first time i can say that i thought he still alive or something and when i searched photos my mind was very confused
@@user-yk3tl5le8z FORTY-THREE YEARS OLD! Imagine how much he could have contributed.
How have I never heard this before?! I know of his piano concerto, but never knew he composed a symphony. Glad I stumbled upon it as it's an amazing piece.
He didn't just compose a symphony, he composed 3 symphonies! (minus Poem of Ecstacy and Prometheus, all that mystic)
Coincido con tu interrogante inicial, y tu reflexión: me estaba perdiendo esta maravilla!! Admiro profundamente a todos los compositores rusos, desde el Grupo de los 5, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, y toda la riqueza artística en general de esa nación!!
I've heard work by Scriabin before; at least I recognize his name! But this is my first time to listen to this magnificent work. I'm not musical myself, so it is difficult for me to conceive of the ear and mind it takes to create such intricate music at such length. I can only take a deep breath, and applaud.
Thanks for uploading this...and how I missed it over the years I don't know.
Primera vez que lo escucho...épico, alucinante, música de otros mundos...
H.
¿Hay otros mundos?
No sabía yo eso!!!
Dime por favor por dónde quedan....y háblanos un poco sobre sus compositores y esa música de la que haces mención.
Gracias por anticipado, H.
A marvelous symphony. Grand in concept and execution. The slow movements were my favorites - sublime! This deserves to be heard more
"grand" but definiltey not overly or uselessly grand. I mean look at Mahler.... very overly and uselessly grand. Scriabin > all
Your lack of appreciation for other composers won't make Scriabin more famous than he is now. I certainly agree that he deserves better recognition, but don't be that narrow-minded fanboy who annoys everyone by insulting and making pointless statements about great people like Mahler (just to mention that I am far from Mahlerian fan, or at least not yet). Leave this obsession to yourself and maybe after getting over it try something else, or maybe the majority of classical music just isn't for you.
By the way, extraordinary symphony!
Ilyan McCann I've tried many things. Probably more things than you have. Maybe you're right that I'm picky. I also listen to EDM and have found myself to only like Trance (not too surprised since they share similar elements with Scriabin). I do have a very specific personal taste but it bothers me that there are passages that do not speak to me at all from Brahms and Mahler yet those are the passages in their symphonies (which I find boring and want to leave/pause at once) that 90% of the people would enjoy and talk about and be putting Scriabin under shadow. That's not cool with me at all. I will fight and talk condescendingly of Mahler and Brahms. Scriabin will gain (even just a little more) popularity because of me. Good thing we live in an era where there's youtube and we can freely express our opinions and comments.
Ilyan McCann my "narrow-mindedness" is not due to ignorance nor having not ever tried other things besides Scriabin. The ones who see me as narrow-minded are usually the ones who have only been exposed to a limited amount of kinds of music out there in the world. And frankly enough most of them wouldn't know this guy: Myaskovsky. Or Frank Bridge. You ask anyone who's their favorite 20th century composer, they'll usually say bartok boulez stravinsky and you know the pattern. It's a shame what the academic circle in music are doing to the community.
The key point is that Mahler and Brahms have nothing to do with the unfortunate lesser popularity of Scriabin. So by attacking them, the only thing you will achieve is a negative reaction toward yourself and possibly even your beloved composer. Obviously negative popularity shouldn't be attached to anyone and I assume this is not your goal. All I'm saying is that such approach is seriously flawed (so try finding another one), although the intention is quite noble and I support it. Also, has it occurred to you that you're among the very few people that find those passages boring or without any value? Meaning there is a reason for others to like them so much and by this statement I'm certainly not saying "popular is better". It means that great compositions deserve the appreciation they get precisely because of their quality. Another thing - if you want to pause and leave the page with a particular video - go ahead, this is exactly the thing you should do! Finally comes the ''narrow-minded" part which is directed at your lack of ability to distinguish personal preference (or the absence of it) from accurate statement. Trying to impose your musical taste on others by such naive (at best) means is certainly bound to achieving the exact opposite of the desired effect. There shouldn't be any contradiction about liking (or at least respecting) both Brahms and Scriabin (for example) - stating the opposite is "narrow-minded" (here we go again). Wish you all the luck with effectively popularizing Scriabin!
P.S. Don't judge by my CZcams profile for the things I have or haven't tried.
(Excuse my bad English)
Recién descubro la música de este compositor 🎼 y l verdad es una música bien construida estructurada muy bonita excelente sinfonía skrabin ya tienes un admirador más 🍀
I'm working on a piano transcription of this.
Oh please. Looking forward to it. I have been trying to crack it, and your transcription would be tremendous help
What a masterpiece...
I didn't expect this at all and I was NOT disappointed.
Muti really nails this one. Much more interesting than ashkenazy's interpretation
Incredible rendition of surely, one of the greatest symphonies ever composed. The tempo was perfect and the diction in the final movement was terrific given that they weren’t native Russian speakers- i’ve seen some otherwise phenomenal renditions ruined by the diction. This assuredly isn’t in that category. Truly, слава искусству (glory to art)!
Enchanting. Scriabin is a wonder
Long live Nottingham!
*_Cast forth the moon, grants short lived fortune. Saluting the sun, yields eternal destruction._*
ok
well by jove.... it's a miracle. Ordained by heaven....
I had to fight tooth and nail with my otherwise beloved piano teacher to study Scriabin's preludes, etudes and sonatas. 'But he's insane! Worse than Schumann!' (She was very Bach, Beethoven, Brahms.) But after I'd learned a few pieces, and played for her, she paid me the supreme compliment of giving me a set of his complete preludes and etudes, inscribed, 'If you love this, there must be something good in it!'
Our local classical radio station plays the most dreadful music throughout the night. I end up turning the radio off. I'm thinking it would be wonderful to meet the night listening to this and his other symphonies.
Absolutely amazing!
Alexandre Nikolaïevitch Scriabine ou Skriabin (en russe : Александр Николаевич Скрябин) est un pianiste, poète et compositeur russe né à Moscou le 25 décembre 1871 (6 janvier 1872 dans le calendrier grégorien) et mort à Moscou le 14 avril 1915 (27 avril 1915 dans le calendrier grégorien). Il est l'un des animateurs les plus importants de la musique moderne et de l'avant-garde musicale à l'aube de la Première guerre mondiale, et il est souvent considéré comme l'un des compositeurs les plus marquants du début du xxe siècle.
Personnalité singulière, animée par un refus de toute référence au folklore russe (notion pourtant essentielle chez ses contemporains Balakirev ou Rimsky-Korsakov), Scriabine a accompagné son œuvre d'une philosophie et d'une religiosité profondément marquées par le symbolisme de Baudelaire en France et de Konstantin Balmont dans l'Empire russe. Ses pièces, presque toutes pour piano (à l'exception de six opus pour orchestre), évoluent progressivement d'un style proche de Chopin et de Wagner à une esthétique individuelle, dont le premier aboutissement est l'accord « mystique » ou « synthétique » qu'on retrouve dans Prométhée et Vers la flamme en 1911. Cet accord synthétique n'est lui-même qu'une ouverture au Mystère, auquel Scriabine travailla de 1903 jusqu'à sa mort et dont il ne reste que des fragments inachevés, récupérés et ré-organisés par Ziloti : les quelques traces de ce Mystère, œuvre multimédia qui aurait dû être le cœur d'une vaste cérémonie mystique, représentent sans doute l'aboutissement harmonique auquel Scriabine avait abouti, et dans lequel il aurait pu continuer à écrire sans sa mort accidentelle à l'âge de 43 ans.
Longtemps incompris des critiques et du public, ce mystique de l'extase influencé par la théosophie et la synesthésie laisse une œuvre profondément originale d'où se détachent un corpus imposant de dix sonates pour piano, trois symphonies, deux poèmes symphoniques (Poème de l'extase et Prométhée ou le Poème du feu) et de nombreuses pièces pour piano au style atypique.
Not how I pictured a Scriabin symphony would begin.
Absolutely stellar.
Desde que tuve la fortuna de escuchar el concierto para piano, descubrí el mundo musical extraordinario de Scriabin.
Verdaderamente el último movimiento hace alucinar tanto o más que el propio Mahler. Toda la obra es un auténtico monumento!!
The finale is amazing, but the fifth movement is so moving!
For eternity ...
This the 1st Symphony Wagner would have liked to have written.
NEVER, HOPE, NOT WAGNER TRAGEDY
Musica eterna che ti parlerà sempre al cuore.
Sinfonia molto interessante,pienamente personale a Scriabin.Stupenda direzione orchestrale di Muti.
Превосходно. Обожаю 3 часть
Great performance ! Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant!
Совершенно с Вами согласна!
Great upload of Scriabin
Fifth mvt. is just magical....love it
Amazing
Que hermosos primeros movimientos, calma y concentración...
Como ilustración le hubiera ido más algún cuadro perteneciente a la corriente simbolista, pues Scriabin fue un compositor perteneciente a ese Movimiento en el que el misticismo,lo metafísico , el espiritualismo y lo onírico juegan, como en sus composiciones, un papel básico e insustituible. Por otra parte Scriabin fue un magnífico compositor que a pesar de sus creencias esotéricas y místicas nunca descuidó la naturaleza del Arte y la técnica que lo sostiene.
Прекрасная музыка.Браво!
If you like this kind of intoxicating Romantic chomaticism try also the latter symphonies of George Enescu ( 2 and up).

Wenn Tschaikowskys Symphonieen persönliche Aussagen sind, so ist diese 1. Skrjabin ein Bild des russischen Schicksals.
A beautiful symphony in a bang-up performance.
Oh, this is insanely lyrical and beautiful ! I thought of Rachmaninov's Second Symphony (they both feature great tunes, though, their harmonic styles seem different). With Scriabin's harmony here, one can almost link it to a line that connects Wagner to Strauss, Debussy, Delius, Bax, and the Austro-Hungarians of Scriabin's time (Mahler, Schoenberg, von Zemlinsky, von Hausseger, Schreker, and Marx). But, some melodies here have the emotional immediacy of Rachmaninov, Puccini, and Korngold !
Hector Barrionuevo -- I can never think of Rakhmaninov's 2nd Symphony without juxtaposing Glière's 2nd in the same mental breath......
@@steveegallo3384 Hello, Stevee; I could hear some of the resemblance: they are both very lush, with great tunes, and colorful orchestration. Thanks for the recommendation on Gliere's Symphony ! This may have been the first time I listen to it and it is one powerful Symphony, very exciting work, and Tchaikovsky's musical spirit lies near ...
The influence on Marx is, I think, especially pronounced.
@@SpaghettiToaster Hello ! Yes, those late-19th-, early 20th-century harmonic sales are very rich and powerful. Best !
You forgot to mention Delius. And Arnold Bax "Tintagel" is one of my favorite pieces!
