Messiaen: Turangalîla-Symphonie
Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Gustavo Gimeno
[ Harmonia Mundi / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 7 June 2024
In their first release on harmonia mundi, Gustavo Gimeno and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra offer us a dazzling reading of the Turangalîla-Symphonie. Equally attentive to architecture and to detail, they glorify the rich and refined orchestration of the French composer's vast hymn to love, always on the lookout for unprecedented sonic alchemies. A unique musical and sensory experience!
"Where Gimeno makes the piece his own is in the complex rhythmic games of the three 'Turangalîla' movements, coolly coordinating them with a species of late Debussian sensuality that Boulez might have recognised, had he not deplored the piece overall as 'bordello music'" Gramophone
