To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the premiere of Olivier Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony in 1949, Yuja Wang, Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra present a breathtaking interpretation of this 20th century masterpiece. There is probably no other orchestra that comes closer to this repertoire and performs it in a comparable blaze of colour than the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Deutsche Grammophon released the album digitally in December 2024 to the acclaim of critics and audiences alike. Now the release is finally available physically, just in time for the big Tanglewood Festival in July, where Yuja Wang, Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra will be performing together again.

The CD booklet contains previously unseen material from the Boston Symphony Orchestra's archive: photos from the premiere, excerpts from the original handwritten score, newspaper articles in which the trailblazing work was criticized after the premiere, and much more.
