Steven Osborne and SCO soloists perform Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time, written by the composer while imprisoned by the Nazis and inspired by the Book of Revelations.
Pianist Steven Osborne joins SCO soloists to performs Messiaen's spiritual masterpiece, Quartet for the end of Time, written while the composer was imprisoned by the Nazis in Stalag VIII-A at Gorlitz and first performed in the camp to the other prisoners.
