Production details
2008 marks the centenary of the birth of Olivier Messiaen, who wrote music that was extravagant in its invention, overflowing with colour yet born of profound Christian faith. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales marks the actual date of his birth one hundred years ago, with his first great orchestral piece L’Ascension.
