Turangalîla-Symphonie
Yvonne Loriod, piano
Jean Loriod, ondes martenot
Orchestre de la Bastille
dir, Myung-Whun Chung
DG 431 781-2 (1991)
Very few words to introduce this wonderful "symphony".....
This is a musical milestone, one of the highest peak of symphonic language in the 20th century.
A work about love and death, creation and destruction, and, as Messiaen (ant the same word Turangalîla) suggests, joy.
Apart from many interrelated themes, it is based mainly on four cyclic and fundamental themes, recurring throughout the whole work.
It was first intended as a "conventional" symphony, later developing in ten movements and in a more complex musical and rhytmical structure (a great accuracy has been used in rhytmical characterization), with a majestic instrumentation.
The performance by Chung and the Loriods (great interpreters of Messiaen music), helped by the DG cristalline sound, results in a very fine and clear reading, with great attention to details.
All the joy, energy and magnificence of this music are here perfectly conveyed....

Enjoy!
