“In Scriabin’s Poème de l’Extase, JoAnn Falletta causes a stir with a very sensual, and evocative opening. The transparency achieved in the orchestra is quite wonderful…Scriabin’s Second Symphony is a mixture of fantasy, ecstasy and fantasies of every kind. JoAnn Falletta has a very sure sense of this. She renders this very special world of the Russian composer in an enchanting way. And also in this interpretation the balance and clarity of the orchestral sound are captivating.” ****
