NIELSEN: Symphony No. 4; SCRIABIN: Le Poeme de L’Extase - Mehta, Los Angeles Philharmonic

Two thrilling 20th-century orchestral works, ideally realised in the hands of Zubin Mehta and released for the first time on CD! The volley of timpani as they hurl challenges at each other in the Nielsen is one of the most exciting moments of orchestral music. And Scriabin’s ‘Poème de l’extase’ (Poem of Ecstasy) is one of his most intoxicating orchestral works.

‘one of the great Nielsen Fourths … it’s wonderful to have these classic recordings on CD’ ClassicsToday
