It was digitally released last year on Deutsche Grammophon to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the work's premiere in 1949. The Turangalila Symphony was originally commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra through its music director, Sergei Koussevitsky. The ten-movement symphony features a large orchestra with various percussion instruments, a solo piano, and an ondes martenot (an early electronic instrument). Here Cecil Lartigo, one of the few modern ondes martenos, plays. Lartigo and pianist Yuja Wang, two superb soloists, along with the Boston Symphony Orchestra led by Nelsons, reveal all of the work's kaleidoscopic colors, enthralling harmonies, and overwhelming emotional drama.The recording was made in April 2024 at Symphony Hall in Boston.\n\n\n\nThe year 2024 was also the 150th anniversary of Sergei Koussevitzky's birth and the 100th anniversary of his appointment as the orchestra's music director for the Boston Symphony Orchestra.\n\n\n\nYuja Wang brought her own unique brilliance to the secondary melodies of Messiaen's symphonies.\"--The Guardian\n\n\n\nIt was an honor to join the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Andris Nelsons, and Cécile Lartigo in this historic performance of the Turangalila Symphony. I hope that those who listen to this recording will also feel the excitement I felt during this breathtaking performance!\" (Yuja Wang)\n\nUniversal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dg Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51435787616545,"sku":"28948670444","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/28948670444.jpg?v=1751292630","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/de-de\/products\/28948670444","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
