HK PHIL: JAAP | TURANGALÎLA-SYMPHONIE
11 February 2023 - 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Programme
WAGNER | Tristan und Isolde: Prelude & Liebestod
MESSIAEN | Turangalîla-Symphonie
Imagine a Hollywood film score, a rhythmic workout, a spectacular piano concerto and a blissed-out hymn to love on a cosmic scale. Now add a super-sized orchestra, a dash of Hindu philosophy, a star pianist and a vintage electronic instrument straight out of science fiction, and you’re still not even half-way to imagining Olivier Messiaen’s mind-boggling Turangalila-Symphonie: in its first performance by the HK Phil.
The concert runs approximately 2 hours with an intermission.
Artists
Jaap van Zweden, conductor
Jean-Yves Thibaudet, piano
Cynthia Millar, ondes martenot
