Sparked by spectacular solo roles for piano and ondes martenot, an electronic keyboard instrument, Messiaen's Turangalîla Symphony is a colossal tapestry of exotic soundscapes that celebrates, in the composer's words, "love, joy, time, movement, rhythm, life and death." It's paired with the imposing Concerto for Organ by the distinguished Québecois composer Jacques Hétu.
