Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915)
-Le Poème de l'extase opus 54
Chicago symphony orchestra
conductor: Pierre Boulez

Scriabin wrote his "Poème de l'extase" between 1905 and 1908. The work is about the unrestrained ecstasy of action; the pleasure of creative action. Although the actual program was not added in the final score, Scriabin had the following program in mind:
I. One's soul in the orgy of love
II. The realization of a fantastic dream
III. The glory of one's own art
The goal of the music must be not a program, but an elevation towards soaring heights of intoxicating beauty!
