These are among the best recordings of "The Philadelphia Sound.
Especially, "Prometheus", the magic symphony of Scriabin is very impressive, in some passages very whirling, contemplative or ecstatic. As you know, Scored for large ensemble: quadruple woodwinds, 8 horns, 5 trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, gong, 2 glockenspiels, large 5 bells, 2 harp, celesta, strings, piano, organ and "Luce" (light organ). So, during the all work, the light organ shows 12 colours equals to 12-note or keys (in one scale) in organ to all concert hall. And some colours mean that: Green - Matter, Yellow - Joy, Creativity - Bright Blue, Human - Red etc... There is an anecdote about the first performance in U.S.A.: in 1950's, Leopold Stokowski was conducted this work with The Philadelphia Orchestra (!). And in a passage of work, the light organ was showed "Red" colour and this was be very long, so, a woman spectator was dead because of heart disease!
As you know, Scriabin was started a new work: Mysterium! But, unfortunately, he couldn't finish this work (he was dead because of a lip tumor!!). And he was written a new part for: perfume for to spread to all concert hall...
In other words: Highly recommended.
