2024 GRAMMY Awards nominee

November 13, 2023

Naxos is delighted to have received a 2024 GRAMMY Awards nomination in the Best Orchestral Performance category for the album of Alexander Scriabin’s The Poem of Ecstasy and the Symphony No. 2, performed by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by music director JoAnn Falletta.

SCRIABIN, A.: Poem of Ecstasy (The) • Symphony No. 2 (Buffalo Philharmonic, Falletta)
Naxos 8.574139

The album is on Fanfare’s Want List: ‘Alexander Scriabin’s Second Symphony can be something of a vertiginous heave on heavy seas, but with JoAnn Falletta at the helm, it becomes a swift exciting ride in a motor boat, skipping the waves with effortless delicacy.’
