Scriabin: Le Poème de l'extase, Piano Concerto, Prometheus
by Vladimir Ashkenazy / Maazel (1971)

Example:

I really pulled this for the Ashkenazy Concerto work. But was captivated by the Maazel, Le Poème de l'extase piece. I thought that this was a Decca release, and then discovered it was. But also London. There is a whole history there that I will let you research.

Yes - 90125

A perennial favorite... either my hearing is getting worse, better, or I've turned the volume up (long overdue haircut?)... it's more compelling than ever. The 2004 expanded and remastered CD.

I underestimated the remaster's volume - I do think they turned it up, but there is no trace of clipping or distortion - Hearts got really loud in the end, as it should!

And Brian Bromberg covers Earth, Wind and Fire's Shining Star on Wood II.
