 No need to mince words here: this is the best Scriabin symphony cycle ever recorded, and arguably the finest thing that Muti did in Philadelphia. To the orchestra's characteristically opulent tone Muti brings to this music a healthy and much needed dose of rhythmic discipline and dynamism. The result is an unusually cogent account of the first three symphonies (especially the Third, the so-called "Divine Poem"), and a Poem of Ecstasy overwhelming in its voluptuous power. The sonics suffer a bit from the same problems that afflict most EMI digitals from Philadelphia--a certain glassy quality and diffuseness in the lower registers--but given the sound quality of most other Scriabin symphony recordings there's no need to make too much of this fact. You can still wallow in the music's luxurious textures to your heart's content. At the Brilliant Classics price, this set is the very definition of the term "no brainer". Some would apply that term to Scriabin's music as well, but it's a hard charge to make stick after hearing this set, and no praise can be higher. --David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com |
