"There is a good deal which is captivating in Mikhail Pletnev's excellent performance: in the thistledown Scherzo, the Russian National Orchestra demonstates polished and tight ensemble playing for the lively main tempo ... In Poem of Ecstasy Pletnev's relatively unhurried performance makes the two climaxes all the more powerful, Vladislav Lavrik's trumpet adding a certain masochistic edge with its cries of ecstatic pain"

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Pletnev has an innate feel for the symphony's and The Poem of Ecstasy's shape and colour, by no means afraid to let rip when full instrumental forces are in play but also well aware that Scriabin could use his palette of timbres with telling discretion ... These are performances in which you sense that the RNO and all the artists involved have this music coursing through their very veins"

Vurdering: 3/5

"Das alles is phänomenal interpretiert!"

"Det er usædvanlig smuk musik, der trænger sig på i Skrjabins 1. Symfoni ... Dirigent og orkester er forrygende poetiske og fulde af menneskelig ømhed. De beåndede, søgende satser præges mere af en flimrende drømmestemning end af lidenskab, og præcis sådan udfolder Pletnev dem ... Le Poème de l'extase forlænger gnisten med sin kuldegysende skønhed, der virker som et nedslag af både mørke og forløsning"
