About

Olivier Messiaen's artistic creed is built on music that highlights sensuality, melody, Catholic mysticism and an unbridled palette of colour, all of which has made him a unique figure in French music. The combination of rationality and mysticism, of the worldly and otherworldly, of paeans to nature and dances of the stars - this is all constantly intertwined with the aim of praising God. Messiaen was an ardent catholic, he was an ornithologist, and he gathered important elements of his musical idiom from East Asia. Sylvain Cambreling's in-depth knowledge of Messiaen's works is peerless, which led to performances with the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg that remain unrivalled. This is a unique box set featuring outstanding performances of Olivier Messiaen's complete orchestral works. Both conductor and orchestra are fine exponents of Messiaen's music, as demonstrated in these wonderful interpretations. First-class soloists Roger Muraro and Yvonne Naef are an additional draw. Re-release of an SWRmusic bestseller (ex. 93225).
