Olivier Messiaen is one of the 20th century’s most inspirational composers, known for influencing artists from Stockhausen
to Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood. Pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard and conductor Pierre Boulez, both Messiaen’s pupils,
come together on the composer’s actual centenary to perform examples of his dazzling music.
'Messiaen's
is the kind of music that sweeps impressionable young things off their feet' (Telegraph).
