Messiaen’s ecstatic, Eastern-influenced
celebration of love is framed by a BBC
commission from one of America’s rising
talents and Anna Meredith’s acclaimed tour de
force of clapping, stamping, singing and body
percussion, first performed earlier this year by NYO
members. Varèse’s Tuning Up is a tongue-in-cheek
parody based on the familiar orchestral strains usually
heard on stage only before the conductor arrives.
