Clocks and Clouds

Turangalîla-Sinfonie

Approved

Prodigious sound alchemy that the fusion of orchestral colors with the magic both ethereal and incarnated of the voice: the exploration of Ligeti, the symbolism of Debussy prepare us for the aesthetic and mystical shock of the Turangalîla-Symphonie .

Rhythmic complexity, phonetic poetry and the strangeness of the intervals characterize Clocks and Clouds by Ligeti, which confronts objective time (that of clocks) with the poetic indeterminacy of clouds. Leaning against the pre-Raphaelitism of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, La Demoiselle Élue testifies to Debussy's attraction to mystical symbolism, still tinged with Wagnerian accents. A huge fresco for orchestra, Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie finally deploys its prodigious kaleidoscope of colors and rhythms: reminiscent of the Wagnerian Tristan here again (" Garden of the Sleep of Love“), but also frenetic dances, ecstatic stasis, madly complex rhythmic stratifications, hieratic motifs… A tribute to the poetry of Sanskrit carried by the undulating magic of the Martenot waves, and a total musical experience.
