Yuja Wang · Cécile Lartigau Boston Symphony Orchestra Andris Nelsons

MESSIAEN Turangalîla / Nelsons

Messiaen: Turangalîla-Symphonie

The Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra join forces with pianist Yuja Wang and release their album which features a stunning rendition of Olivier Messiaen&rsquo;s Turangal&icirc;la-Symphony. The recording, captured at Boston&rsquo;s Symphony Hall in April 2024, celebrates the 75th anniversary of the work&rsquo;s premiere given by the BSO and Leonard Bernstein on 2 December 1949. Most notably, it was originally commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra itself via their pioneering music director, Serge Koussevitsky, who gave Messiaen free rein by telling him, &ldquo;choose as many instruments as you desire, write a work as long as you wish and in the style you want.&rdquo; Resulting from the instruction was this extraordinary, 10-movement symphony for large orchestra &ndash; including a vast array of percussion &ndash; with solo piano and ondes martenot (an early electronic instrument).&nbsp;
The album is released digitally, with a physical CD release to follow in 2025.&nbsp;
