The chamber score

Quartet for the End of Time, Louange

Olivier Messiaen · 1941

Silence as a luxury good.

An original chamber arrangement in the climate of the work. The recording is not a copy. It is the room answering.

Why it is here

Piano's glass-and-porphyry gallery, among the most serene museums on earth.
