About Oliver Messiaen Complete Edition [32 CD Limited
The Messiaen celebrations come to an overwhelming climax with this superb 32-CD set of his complete works. The limited edition, from Deutsche Grammophon, is a one-of-a kind deluxe edition, including a 400-page booklet in English and French with the complete sung texts and libretto. Includes the solo piano works with Roger Muraro (7 CDs); the organ works with Olivier Latry (6 CDs); Orchestral and Choral works with Myung-Whun Chung and Pierre Boulez, with Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Yvonne Loriod as soloists (ca. 10 CDs); the opera Saint François d'Assise directed by Kent Nagano (4 CDs); chamber works with Daniel Barenboim, Gidon Kremer, Martha Argerich and Daniel Hope; vocal works with Noelle Barker. The crowning gem of this box set is a performance of the two piano Visions de l'Amen with Olivier Messiaen and Yvonne Loriod, recorded in Paris in 1962. Recorded especially for this edition: Trois petites liturgies de la Présence Divine, Couleurs de la Cité Céleste and the rare Hymne (1932) with Myung-Whun Chung; the recently discovered Fantaisie for violin and piano with Daniel Hope.
