Vasily Petrenko is the 'ideal interpreter' of Scriabin's Symphony No. 2
In many respects, Vasily Petrenko is the ideal interpreter for this ripe overheated music with its strong echoes of Liszt, Wagner and Tchaikovsky. He knows instinctively how to sustain momentum, particularly in the Second Symphony’s more repetitive sequential passages. He also ensures that Scriabin’s propensity for unleashing constant surges in sound in the faster-paced movements does not become self-defeating, and that the biggest climaxes of all really have the greatest impact.
