Werk: Éclairs sur l'Au-Delà

The Cleveland Orchestra offered stark contrasts of feeling in Shostakovich’s bleak Chamber Symphony and the luminous closing movement of Messiaen’s Éclairs sur l’au-delà.

A searing account of Messiaen's late orchestral behemoth. 

2017 began with a bang in Zurich, thanks to a stellar pianist, Daniil Trifonov, and a peak performance by the Tonhalle Orchestra under Kent Nagano’s seasoned baton.
