I absolutely love Turangalila-Symphonie! I remember hearing part of the first Turangalila movement in some after-school music GCSE training as an example of heterophony, and I fell instantly in love with it. The whole symphony is astonishing.
I still really like Previn with the LSO, which was the first version I purchased and one of the first CDs I ordered online, not too long after hearing that example as mentioned above. I think I have a few other versions, including Cambreling (whose box of Messiaen's orchestral works I've barely touched since buying ) must give them a listen...
