Scriabin's "Le poeme de l'extase" (Poem of Ecstasy). . . with choral parts???

Yup, you read that right. I was surfing around Qobuz earlier tonight and came across the recent Kitajenko / Gurzench-Orchester Koln recording of the work on the Oehms label. (The album also contains Scriabin's Second Symphony.) It features an "edition" of the Poem of Ecstasy (by Yuri Ahronovitch) which adds choral parts in the last minute or so of the music. According to the notes on the Qobuz site (which I'd guess are taken from the Oehms booklet), the choral singing makes the work "a flight of the soul with an orgiastic ending".

I was underwhelmed (IOW, I didn't feel any more orgiastic than I usually do) - but other listeners may feel differently! ;-)
