Kent Nagano, who was highly acclaimed by Messiaen, has actively included Messiaen's works in his programs since then, and his recording of \"Turangalila Symphony\" (2000) with the Berliner Philharmoniker is a lucid and detailed interpretation of the work that radically changes the image of the work as \"complex and difficult\" for listeners. The performance is considered one of Messiaen's finest of our time, and it is so impressive that it radically alters the listener's image of the work as \"complex and difficult. This 3-CD set includes live recordings of three Messiaen works by Kent Nagano. The main work is \"The Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ,\" written between 1965 and 1969, with a huge five-wind orchestra, a 100-member choir, soloists, and seven solo instruments including percussion, and featuring the well-known Pierre-Laurent Emard on piano and the beautiful cello soloist The piano is played by the well-known Pierre-Laurent Emard, and the beautiful cello solo is performed by Lionel Coté, principal cellist of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, as expected.The complex rhythms spun by the large orchestra and the mysterious chorales with birdcalls and chorus that can be heard through the euphoric sounds, make this the pinnacle of Messiaen's creation a work to be enjoyed to the fullest. Other works include \"Poem for Mi,\" dedicated to Messiaen's first wife, Claire Delbos, and \"Chronochromie,\" in which the birds' voices also play an important role.
