MESSIAEN: Quatuor Pour La Fin Du Temps Limited Vinyl LP

DANIEL BARENBOIM, ALBERT TETARD, CLAUDE DESURMONT, LUBEN YORDANOFF MESSIAEN: Quatuor Pour La Fin Du Temps Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

'Music which lulls to sleep and which sings, which is of new blood, speaking gestures, an unknown fragrance, an unsleeping bird; music of stained-glass church windows, a whirl of complementary colours, a theological rainbow'. This personal definition from Olivier Messiaen points to both the purely musical and the extra-musical characteristics that he demands of himself and attributes to his works. It also serves as a brief résumé of one of the most important works which Messiaen produced during his first great creative period. Mixed and edited from the original 8-track tapes, this edition provides a breathtaking listening experience of the highest analogue sound quality.
