CD Reviews

Messiaen's Music from the Source
D. Lindauer | Rockville, MD, USA | 04/08/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For anyone interested in the music of this individualistic and fascinating French composer, this is an essential set, combining as it does, some of the greatest performances available of his music. Pride of place must go to the master himself on four discs of his own organ music. Hardly less notable are performances of the Turangalila Symphony (LSO/Previn), Chronochromie(BBC S.O./Dorati), and a selection of performances featuring musicians long associated with his works (including his wife, pianist Yvonne Loriod). I have already played through the entire set once and will eagerly return to it for the exotic beauty of the music and the authoritative excellence of many of the set's performances."
