Kirill Karabits, conductor
In Turangal卯la, named from two Sanskrit words, turanga and l卯la, meaning roughly 'time' and 'love', Messiaen wanted to create a "love song and hymn of joy, time, movement, rhythm, life, and death." This inventive piece is like no other - a work of huge structural scope that strives to convey, from most tender to most wild, its basic theme: love.
By contrast, written in a single month, Bizet's polished gem of a symphony is remarkable not so much for its originality, but for its skilful reworking of others' designs. It is a brilliant work that shows a grasp of unity and overall design that was remarkable for a seventeen-year old composer.
