Messiaen - Turangalila Symphony

[C.Cat]

In my opinion, Turangalila is one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. I can't describe what it's like to hear it played live, the music is so emotionaly intense and full of meaning.

You can hear some of it on Youtube, and check out the Ondes Martenot! www.youtube.com/watch?v=170VZGFoTKg&feature=related

I heard this performed by students of the RNCM. It was the first time I'd heard it and it was certainly intense and very exciting.
