Turangalîla Symphony

Album by Olivier Messiaen & Michel Béroff & Jeanne Loriod & London Symphony Orchestra & André Previn

Turangalîla-Symphonie is a symphony by French composer Olivier Messiaen, completed in 1948. The work combines rich orchestral colours, rhythmic complexity, extended modal harmonies and prominent percussion and ondes Martenot parts to create expansive, cyclical movements, representing a key work in Messiaen's postwar output and an influential piece of mid-20th-century orchestral music.
