Claudio Abbado - Scriabin: Le Poeme de l'extase; Tschaikowsky: Romeo und Julia [Original Source Series]

Scriabin's "Poème de l'extase" today represents everything he produced as a composer. The oversized nature of his compositions almost astounds the listener. The writer Boris Pasternak confesses: "I could not listen to this music without tears." 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.
