Messiaen, Olivier (1908-1992)

Description:

Messiaen's music of praise and prayer, filled with the intoxicating sounds of love and trust, death and eternity, and the song of birds. These are eternal themes for Messiaen. The Forgotten Offering" is his first published orchestral work. The "offering" is the free love of Christ. The "Forgotten Offering" was his first published orchestral work. The "Poem for Mi" is an extremely symbolic love song by the Messiaen. It is based on nine mystical texts dedicated to his first wife, Claire Delbos. Of course, in "Smiles," birdsong can be heard throughout. This one is a great introduction to Messiaen. The soft orchestral tone spun by Quasi-Merkle and the hard-sounding soprano of Schwanewilms take the listener into a world of euphoria. Naxos Japan
