Scriabin Prometheus
Beethoven Coriolan Overture
Beethoven Symphony No. 8

Two light-hearted classical works frame Scriabin's mystic Prometheus, the culmination of Riccardo Muti's exploration of Scriabin's symphonic works with the CSO. Muti masterfully contrasts this piece with two twists on the classical symphonic form: Beethoven's inventive Eighth Symphony and Prokofiev's mischievous Classical Symphony.
