album release: Scriabin 3
04.04.2025 - Le Divin Poème: brand new album by Brussels Philharmonic & Kazushi Ono out now
Scriabin x Brussels Philharmonic
Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) holds a special place in the repertoire of Brussels Philharmonic. Together with Kazushi Ono, we are exploring his music through a project spanning several years, on stage and in the studio. Through performances and recordings of his Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, we delve deeper into his visionary world: mystical, ecstatic, and always reaching for what escapes words.
Along the way, we approach his music from fresh perspectives. Visual interpretations, in-depth essays, news articles and reading lists bring you closer to Scriabin and his world. Explore our collection here.
Scriabin: Le Divin Poème | programme notes
In his three symphonies, Scriabin brought his personal, radical vision ever more intensively to the fore. The finale of his Third Symphony, also known as ‘Le Poème Divin’ (the divine poem), marked an important point in his development as a composer: "This was the first time I found light in music [...] the first time that I felt a stir, a liberation, knew the breathlessness of happiness".

Stravinsky & Scriabin | Programme Notes
“Is it possible to link a composer like Scriabin to any tradition at all?” That is what Stravinsky also wondered, so unique was his musical language. Scriabin initially wrote mainly for the piano. Only later did he put his hand to larger orchestral works, including five symphonies that he wrote between 1899 and 1910.
