Various - La Fauvette Basserinette: A Messiae

Facts Messiaen's 1961 composition La Fauvette Passerinette, which receives it's world premiere on this recording, was discovered in 2012 by Peter Hill hidden amongst the composer's papers. He gave the first public performance of the work in the autumn of 2013. With this recital recording, Hill returns to the music in which he first made his reputation, setting this glittering addition to Messiaen's piano output in the context both of the composer's own earlier works and of music by composers on whom Messiaen was a profound influence.
