OLIVIER MESSIAEN

The Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra join forces with pianist Yuja Wang and announce their upcoming album which features a stunning rendition of Olivier Messiaen’s Turangalila-Symphonie. The recording celebrates the 75th anniversary of the work’s premiere in 1949. Most notably, it was originally commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra itself via their pioneering music director, Serge Koussevitsky. 

Listen to a pre-release track, the fifth movement Joie du sang des étoiles from the symphony. The full album is released digitally and on CD on 6 December and is now available for pre-order.
