Like a musical Prometheus, Alexander Scriabin wanted to enlighten humanity with his Prometheus: The Poem of Fire, for orchestra, choir and clavier à lumières (colour organ). Daan Vandewalle and Stéphane Ginsburgh light the flame in a rarely heard arrangement for two pianos. Revue Blanche respond with symbolist works from the same era. And where better to do all this than in the Groeninge Museum, next to a monumental work by symbolist Jean Delville, not coincidentally also the illustrator of Scriabin's score cover.
