Two generations experience the turning of time

‘Compose the work you want, in the style of your choice, with the duration you want and the instrumentation you want, and I will not impose any deadline on you.’ That is the task Messiaen was set by Russian conductor Sergei Koussevitzky. The result was the Turangalîla Symphony, a work larger than life. It is as if Messiaen was trying to capture his understanding of life in music. Seven duos of grandparent and grandchild (8 to 14 years old) with different roots are set the same task. They draw their inspiration from Messiaen’s work. How do they look back and forward?
