In Reply to: Scriabin's "Le poeme de l'extase" (Poem of Ecstasy). . . with choral parts??? posted by Chris from Lafayette on February 16, 2021 at 01:11:44:
I'm a fan of Kitajenko, he mines more orchestral color out of Rach's Bells (Melodiya Lp '85) than the usual suspects of the analog era, Previn, etc.
I was very happy to acquire his latest Bells, which is equally colorful and descriptive, (those cold strings in the 2nd mov't) on Oehems. (sp)
My favorite Scriabin Poem is Sinopoli's white-hot performance with the NYPO on DGG. Best final chord, and should I mention...the merely "present" organ?
FWIW, most all of Sinopoli's work with the NYPO is enjoyable and fresh, without going off the rails. DGG seems to have had its better engineers on hand, as well.
I like Pletnev's organ better but a touch too much lingering before the final chord, (and some IMHO unnecessary compression?) takes a little of the ecstasy off the top.
