For God's Sake!

I'm new to this forum. Sorry if I got the "Topic Description" wrong. I'm not sure what it means... Anyway,

I was wondering if any of you know where to listen to a free copy of "Mysterium" on the internet. I can't find it and have gotten no help. If you can't help me with that, then can you direct me to a very cheap priced copy? Running a bit scarce on the money and I hate asking my mother for things.

Regards

Chris

You are going to have to explain this a little more..... im compleatly confused.....

Maybe Scriabin's unfinished work, Preparation for the Final Mystery, finished by Nemtin.

I heard that Scriabin's sketches were really minimal and that this is basicly a work of Nemtin.

It is an incredible piece of music. It is sort of a transcription of Scriabin by Nemtin, the themes are mostly Scriabin (derived from sketches, as well as his late piano preludes and 8th sonata) but Nemtin devoted a hefty portion of lifetime to completing a form of Mysterium, and did an amazing job - I doubt Scriabin would have done better. I have only heard the first movement, which is by no means short (about 40 minutes long). There is a free recording of this, under the title L'act Preable at classicalarchives.com. You'll have to register for a free account, and you wont be able to save it to your computer, you'll have to stream it. But it's worth it - heck it is even worth paying the $25 for a year's membership so you can download it (I have a membership there and have downloaded probably about 20 hours of professional quality recordings for the mere 25 dollars. And my account doesn't expire for until November 2006! So I imagine I can download a few hundred more hours of music....)

Anyways, back to the piece. It's just incredible - it sends shivers down my spine. It's similar to Scriabin's work "Prometheus Poem of Fire" in that its a quasi-piano concerto with a full chorus that comes in at the end.
