[marian444]

Wonderful!!!

[JosepProductions]

@BerlinPhil Which movement is it?

[BerlinPhil]

@JosepProductions It is an excerpt from the finale.

[BerlineRAffenMensch]

i will another see this then another then another its great

[SchwarzeDose21]

to be piccolo trumpet in a symphony orchestra, has to be awesome :D

[OrganNLou]

Great, energetic, spice of life music! BRAVO

[ctfamily40]

I am still in shock that this entire opening section is just 3/16 the whole way through. Good lord that must be difficult to count...I'm having trouble even following the score haha!

[visqueraient]

great interpretation! comparable to that of myung whun chung and the orchestra de l'opera bastille... great stuff =)

[msmusicalart]

The sound at 1:34 must be electronic as well, then. So great.

I sit here and wonder what it must be like to play with Berlin. It's very inspiring. Thank you for these marvelous recordings.

[ChicorelliC]

@msmusicalart I think that is a chromotone

[muzomanoz]

It is the Ondes Martenot

[tommyk77]

It's an Ondes Martenot. They're very rare!

[curlyman217]

FANTASTIC MUSIC OF THE STARS!

[PPchopin]

messiaen is poco crazy

[atralfalgar]

totally amazing !

[jamesaellis]

STRANGE AND WEIRD? thats Messiaen for you! fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pippinazzo011]

Bella esecuzione !!! Grazie

[etiterum]

was that a prima vista rendition ?

[bonesteve]

since i own a recording of this piece performed by berlin (with nagano) i know at least some of the musicians have performed it. rattle, however, looks confused and doesn't seem to offer much to the music. embarrassing performance in most respects.

[shadowrun45]

But Rattle always looks confused...

[junglemozart]

Where does he look confused in this clip?

[tommyk77]

I agree. He has that funny glance as if to say "you missed your cue!"

Of course, he's shit hot really

[JacobSteuer]

His recording with the CBSO is one of the only recordings that totally nails this piece. Thats just what Simon Rattle looks like. Maybe I would look like too that if i had every single note of the score memorized.

[GregHales]

Kent Nagano with the BPO did a great recording, with the same piano player as used here.

[BBQJester]

What a strange composition with weird instrument combinations O.o

[pziglioli]

Superb, thanks.

[az111za]

what is this small celesta at 0:54 ?

& how did they produce that sound at 2:46?

[BerlinPhil]

The small celesta is a "keyboard glockenspiel". And the sound you mention is an electronic one, again produced by the ondes Martenot

[az111za]

thanks so much for the reply

I think it is rara to use electronic instruments in classical music

[robotkarel]

Tristan Murail in Ondes Martenot?!

[BerlinPhil]

Ondes Martenot is an instrument not easy to see in this excerpt. It is on the right of the piano and produces e.g. the whistling sound at 1:34.

[music234567]

CRAZY AWESOME MADNESS!

[bordaz1]

Oh no, rattle's got a score!

[curlyman217]

everyone needs a score for the turangalila!

[violasarre]

@curlyman217

except aimand!

[Giovanni222]

Wow this is stunning. The fact that Rattle barely needs to move when the time signature is so complex and hard to distinguish shows how good this orchestra must be.

[pepenomedestormento]

Maravilloso.

[beethovenboy]

I love Messiaen! I wish they would've posted the 5th movement though, Joie Du Song Des Étoiles, that one kicks ass.

[loriziell]

wow im first!

lol jk dont mind me

anyways nice
