The music of Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) immediately attracts our attention with its rhythm, variety of colour, technical brilliance, energy, joy, and spirituality. It is incredibly well written for the instrument, even though its difficulties may deter many a player. Audiences are rarely indifferent to it, and for many it has a very powerful effect. In this disc, Angela Hewitt shows her affinity for French piano music, presenting the early
Préludes of Olivier Messiaen, along with several of his
Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus and
Île de feu 1 and 2.
