Summary:
"In this classic interview, the late composer talks on topics such as his love of nature and his fervent Christian faith, two themes that profoundly shaped his work; his views on rhythm and tonal color; his relationship with his mother, the poet CeĢcile Sauvage; and his professorship at the Paris Conservatoire. Film clips of Messiaen improvising on the organ and notating birdsong for his compositions--plus excerpts of his music, some of which are performed by his wife, Yvonne Loriod--provide a deeper appreciation of his special genius."--Container.
