Messiaen - Turangalîla Symphonie -IV Pt1- Thibaudet, Chailly

[SeanMcHugh00]

Current music making is garbage. The Previn recording which likely many contributors know was founded in silence out of which issued passion; this stupid drivel issues out of IDEAS of how to play Messiaen.

[Tengent]

My favorite movement. It's so beautiful.

1:39 did he punch the keys?

[jre58591]

Yes. I suppose he wants to hit that diatonic cluster with a bit more power. Messiaen doesn't specify to do that in the score.

[ChicorelliC]

I believe that was a "Chromatic Cluster" or Tone Cluster" as its usually called, and depending on the size one common was to execute this is with the fist

[jre58591]

No, it is not a chromatic cluster , but rather a whole tone cluster. It is written as E, F#, G# in both hands. My guess is that he plays E, F#, G#, E and the F#, G# at the top with his right fist. It happens too quickly to be absolutely sure.

[ChicorelliC]

@jre58591 , you have the score?

if it is only f#g# he plays with the fist , that is very unusual. .....Absolutely wonderful piece by a Master Composer

[jre58591]

Yes, I do have the score.

[gatoulis25]

Messiaen tiene su gracia. Una de dos (para mejor): escucharlo con THC en la sangre o en vivo, metido entre la orquesta. Amén, diría él.
