What do you think of Scriabin's orchestral music? I absolutely love it. I haven't heard his first 2 symphonies or his "Reveries", however I am very familiar with his Piano Concerto, his 3rd Symphony and also his Poem of Ecstacy, Poem of Fire, and L'Act Preable.

The later pieces (the last three I mentioned, especially the last two) are in a really cool, unique "Scriabinesque" musical language. There are many places in the music that send shocks up my neck and scalp (do any of you experience this with music?)

I've attached a little sample from his Third Symphony, the "Divine Poem" so you can hear what its like.
