When you listen to ' Ecstasy ' look straight into the eye of the Sun!
A portrait in words and music of the composer who was born 100 years ago.
Written bv KONSTANTIN BAZAROV with Michael Pennington as Alexander Scriabin
The Russian-born Scriabin is one of the strangest, most enigmatic figures in musical history. He developed a visionary philosophy which he dreamed of expressing by blending music, dancing, voice, colour, perfume and even sex in a great orgiastic mystery which he hoped to perform in a temple specially constructed by himself on a plot of land he had bought in India. with the voices of ANTHONY JACOBS.
