Alexander Scriabin wasn’t just a composer—he saw himself as a prophet of a new world, with music as the key to transformation. For him, the senses were everything: only through intense, conscious experience could humanity reach true ecstasy. With each symphony, he pushed the boundaries further. His Fifth — The Poem of Fire — became a heady fusion of sound, mysticism, and colour: a swirling, ritualistic vision of music as pure experience.
