notes: Le Poème du feu

Scriabin: Le Poème du feu

Alexander Scriabin was an eccentric composer who saw himself as a saviour: his Art would create a new, better world. The sensory was central; only the conscious experience of as many impulses as possible could bring man to ecstasy. With each symphony, he went one step further, making Le Poème du feu, as the fifth, an overwhelmingly eclectic vision, in which music, mysticism and colour come together like a swirling tidal wave in a ritual of sound.
