Programme Note
The eigth concert in James Lisney's ....Petits Concerts series features Olivier Messiaen's Quartet for the end of time. Composed while he was a prisoner of war and scored for the musicians available to him at the camp, this profound, otherworldly work was inspired by the Book of Relevation and seems to touch the far edges of human experience in its breadth of expression
