Trinity Laban Symphony Orchestra - Turangalîla
Bold Tendencies, SE15 4TG , [Venue Details]Messiaen Turangalîla-symphony (1948) is a ten-movement magnificent monster of a work for an orchestra of 106 players and piano and ondes martenot soloists - a revolutionary, uninhibited masterpiece of 20th-century music by one of its most distinctive and influential composers.
The orchestra, with its spectacular array of percussion and elaborate instrumentation, is composed of outstanding musicians from Trinity Laban, a pioneering conservatoire in South East London, led by Oksana Lyniv, an exceptional conductor of the new generation, in her first appearance in the UK in 2 years.
The hugely demanding solo piano part will be taken by Christos Fountos. The eerie ondes martenot, an electronic instrument producing long, sustained, swooping notes and otherworldly glissandos, will be played by Imsu Choi. Music speaks to the heart, and Messiaen himself wrote of Turangalîla, “It is a love song, a hymn to joy; love that is fatal, irresistible, transcending everything, suppressing everything outside; joy that is superhuman, overwhelming, blinding, unlimited”.
Convulsive, ecstatic, cataclysmic, terrifying, unreal… Turangalîla-symphony is all of these experiences in 75 minutes of shimmering, sonorous technicolour and hectic invention.
