I concur. Greatest part of the whole piece. Arguably one of the finest bits of music ever written.
Gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it.

Great performance and great video. Something scaring in Scriabin's silhouette at the very end. I still have chills! ^^

oops, misread it...

@twooffour this piece has plenty of major chords...prometheus/poem of fire only has one...
-
This resembles his Piano Sonata No. 5, does it not?
-
Lol what? Another C major chord at 0:17 into the first video; happens again in similar instances later on ;)
-
8:25 -> best silence ever
-
The final minutes of both the poem of ecstasy and the poem of fire are sublime moments of cosmic greatness. For both pieces I recommend the recordings of Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia orchestra, But this one is great too.
-
@ghonik even more powerful is the final major chord in the poem of fire -- the only major chord in the piece. that one is not so much ecstatic as it is shattering

@MonaAllegra Wassily Wuzzle.

@gymgymgymgym I believe it's his Composition VII, painted in 1913.

At the final rest I caught my heart and soul beating alongside the rhythm.
Does anyone know what conductor and what orchestra this is?
