Along with Wit's Naxos recording, this is one of the best versions of Messiaen's phantasmagoric Turangalîla-Symphonie available, and it's very different: swifter, more obviously virtuosic in concept, perhaps a touch less warm in consequence, and engineered with greater “in your face” immediacy. The playing of the Concertgebouw, always a wonderful Messiaen orchestra, is stunning throughout. Chailly revels in the music's weirdness. The Ondes Martinot, for example, is particularly well captured. It's interesting how earlier performances tended to minimize its presence, perhaps for fear that is would sound silly, which of course it does, redeemed by the composer's utter seriousness and obliviousness to anything that smacks of humor.
In any case, it's not all noise and bluster. The Garden of Love's Sleep is gorgeous, hypnotic, but happily still flowing, while the three Turangalîla rhythmic studies have remarkable clarity. Jean-Yves Thibaudet plays the solo piano part magnificently, really as well as anyone else ever has. Recorded way back in 1993, when Universal was contracting more ferociously than Octo-mom in labor, this performance was never released in the USA. This was understandable to the extent that (you may recall) Universal was at the time flogging Chung's Messiaen series, which also contained a Turangalîla, albeit one far gentler and less gripping than this one.Review by David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday
Having discussed the virtues of Turangalila-symphonies past and present in the light of Myung-Whun Chung's hitherto uniquely economical version, I can confirm that this recording continues the trend to streamlined articulation and faster speeds. For many readers Riccardo Chailly's sensational recording will be an obvious first choice. Decca's sound is brilliant, detailed and just a little airless, emphasizing the Concertgebouw's astonishing unanimity of attack. (Both engineers and musicians are perhaps less preoccupied with achieving a real pianissimo.) The soloists are closely balanced—not unacceptably so—but this does again serve to exaggerate the impersonal, mechanistic aspects of Messiaen's writing. Let's be clear: I have never heard this unprecedented score unleashed with greater panache than it is here. Chailly's interpretation is thrilling; it can also be brutal. If you hear the beautiful "Jardin du sommeil d'amour" as the sublime heart of a quasi-religious hymn to earthly life and love, this is not the performance for you. Jean-Yves Thibaudet has an astounding technique, but his tone remains rather hard and unvaried even here and Chailly's straightforward rendition sounds almost cavalier beside Rattle's rapt and delicate treatment. For Chailly, you suspect, this is no more than a decorative interlude in a fabulous orchestral showpiece. In "Turangalila I", there is no hint of Gallic insouciance in the bass, although "Chant d'amour II" is witty enough at the start. Yes, Chailly is supremely efficient; ultra-sensitive he is not. He also has a questionable penchant for holding on to climactic chords for what seems like an eternity, most outrageously at the very end of the "Final"… Whether Chailly's single CD contains the definitive presentation of the work's 'symphonic' tensions and contrasts I am inclined to doubt, but—my goodness—hear him you must!Review by Gramophone
