Interview
Simone Young in conversation with Stanley Dodds
Simone Young conducts Messiaen’s “Turangalîla-Symphony”
Olivier Messiaen’s monumental Turangalîla-Symphony is a paean to joy and love in all their facets, inspired by the Tristan legend. Messiaen creates his magical soundscapes with an unusual orchestra that includes an imposing percussion section, electronic sounds and a highly virtuosic piano part, interpreted here by Cédric Tiberghien. The Berliner Philharmoniker will be conducted by Simone Young.
