Olivier Messiaen's 脡clairs sur l鈥橝u-del脿鈥� at the Salzburg Festival.
Ingo Metzmacher conducts the SWR Symphony Orchestra, Stuttgart in the French master's final completed work. Scored for a vast orchestra, 脡clairs is a summary of his musical and spiritual preoccupations. It's imbued with bird song - at one point with twenty five birds singing at once - rapt emotion and sonorous nobility and, as his widow recalled, in this final work, Messiaen attempts ''gradually to understand the Invisible''.
Presented by Georgia Mann
