Sound festival for all senses "Poème de l´Extase" - already the title promises Big one. And indeed, Alexander Scriabin's Masterpiece of the most sensual compositional artistry, whose harmonics with a powerful sound are combined in a powerful Apotheosis, conceived as a milestone in the development of a Gesamtkunstwerk. The solemn performance was to take place thousands of disciples at the foot of the Himalayas to gather in a gigantic seven-day Mystery magic the synthesis of art, music, To celebrate dance, colors and scents. That's what happened but Stefan Blunier's emotions are very different charged interpretation of this groundbreaking work in combination with other Russian compositions compensated with a gripping live performance of Beethoven in the best possible condition, as always Orchestra Bonn! Magic power Sensuality characterizes the music of Russia just as much as a proud reflection on the original power russian folk art. Nikolai Mjaskowski understood es, elegiac vastness with folkloristic melodies in to merge formally sophisticated works. His 21st Symphony was considered to be the most truthful expression of Soviet composing - at least until it's the rulers changed their minds.. Imagination Slavic national pride sometimes drove peculiar Flowers: None less than Peter Tschaikowsky was enthusiastic about Mykola Lysenko's opera about the ukrainian national epic "Taras Bulba" and wanted them immediately after appearance in Moscow to the performance to the hospital. Lysenko vetoed it: His work would be in Russian instead of Ukrainian, unimaginable! Sound splendour Alexander presented himself far more open-minded Glasunov. In elegant noblesse, from fragrant Lightness, his concert waltz begins No. 1. Brass players and percussion instruments provide for a brilliant increase of the phenomenal instrumented Work, which is set in a bacchanalian Stretta and thanks to the excellent 3D audio technology in the 2+2+2 process any high-quality playback system into ecstasy..
