Boston Symphony Orchestra & Claudio Abbado – Scriabin: Le Poeme De L’extase, Op. 54 / Tchaikovsky – Vinyl LP

High Quality

Scriabin’s ‘The Poem of Ecstasy’ is representative of everything he produced as a composer. The oversized nature of his compositions virtually overwhelms the listener. Tchaikovsky describes much more earthly joys and pains in his fantasy overture ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Balakirev had drawn the composer’s attention to Shakespeare’s tragedy. In gratitude, Tchaikovsky dedicated the score to him.
