Turangaglia Symphony, London, Feb 7 2008

2007-11-29 by Lunette Records

Hi all, for Ondes Martenot fans...

performance of Turangalila by Messian, Feb 7 2008 at South Bank London:

http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/calendar/productions/philharmonia-1033

Features Cynthia Miller on Ondes.

I heard he wrote it for Ondes because there were no theremin players
around at the time.  But I may be wrong.

Given that Turangalila was Messiaen's _fifth_ piece involving Ondes 
Martenot, and that the sister of a close friend was an Ondiste 
(performer on Ondes Martenot), I think he wrote it with the Ondes in 
mind.
