A. Scriabin - Symphony No.1 - 1st movement of 6

[revjys]

Strangely, a political Science professor suggested that I consider listening to Alexander Scriabin. I was listening very intently to Tchaikovsky at the time. While i continue my humble study of Peter, I am in awe of Alexander. His sense of wonder speaks to the journey of humanity. Such hope, such intensity, such discipline.

Wonderful!!!

I can't believe I never knew Scriabin's orchestral works. I guess I'd foolishly considered him an exclusively piano-centered composer. I was wrong! This is transcendent.

[levnest15]

@sinjun2 Indeed so! Scriabin's orchestral writing is amazing! :)

[FusionSummit]

WOW! This is incredible. :)

[Lukecash12]

This sounds like a tone poem by sibelius, somewhat.

@Lukecash12 That's exactly what I thought

Scriabin es conocido por sus bellas e insinuantes piezas para piano y por sus poemas sinfonicos escritos en clave de misterio. Esta sinfonia -al igual que otras dos que se interpretan poco, parecen estar pensadas en descrifrar lo que existe mas alla del espejo casico de la musica ( es decir lo que no refleja la cara visible del espejo,sino su lado oscuro).Y toda la sinfonia se desarrolla asi hasta el ultimo movimiento (6) en el que el se vuelve a la realidad mundana agregando voz a la sinfonia.

Beautiful. :)

I love this movement so much ... Thanks

[Kobzar3374]

I fully agree. I love this music, and the landscapes chosen for the video are among the most beautiful I've ever seen. On the other hand, Ashkenazy is one of the best, perhaps absolutely the best when it comes to playing or conducting Scriabin, in my opinion. Thanks!

[levnest15]

thank you for your comments, and yes indeed the landscapes are really beautiful, that's why I have chosen them to picture Scriabin =D

[sshuck]

Agreed. I think Ashkenazy is a fine conductor in general.
