Olivier Messiaen |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| In a composing career that lasted more than 50 years, Messiaen produced a body of work of remarkably consistent quality. The main inspirations of his work are a sense of wonder at the beauty of the natural world, particularly birdsong, and the tenets of his deeply held Roman Catholic faith. His musical style was self-made and unmistakable. | ||||||
