This is a delirious piece of music by French composer Oliver Messiaen, played by a youth orchestra, the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.
I'm amazed seeing the size of the orchestra and by how well they play this. British education for orchestral performance must kick ass.
This is one of the few pieces of music that calls for a Theremin controlled by a keyboard, an instrument called "Ondes Martenot".
