I. Introduction - Luttes (Struggles) 00:00-24:05 II. Voluptés (Delights) 24:05-36:55 III. Jeu divin (Divine Play) 36:55-46:50 Performed by the USSR Symphony Orchestra conducted by Yevgeny Svetlanov.
Mystical, theosophical visionary to some; complete nutcase to others. Whatever the case, I do have a fondness for Scriabin's yearning, searching (arguably OTT) music which, after "The Divine Poem", became even more esoteric and, by the time of the unfinished "Mysterium", maybe even downright weird in a monomaniacal way. I still enjoy a bask in the stuff, especially the 2nd Movement here (24:08) in which I can detect anticipation of Gliere's "Ilya Murometz".
