WDR Happy Hour – Göttliches Spiel

It is the reach for the stars, the longing for the infinite, that Alexander Scriabin kindles in his music. His Third Symphony bears the title "Le divin poème" – the divine poem. In opulent tonal language it tells of the awakening of mankind, of the bursting of earthly fetters: darkness dissolves into light, doubt turns into ecstatic dance.
