"Editor's Choice. This Messiaen tribute is predictably marvellous." - Gramophone "This disc, vividly played, puts Messiaen in context as teacher and inspiration and makes an aurally stimulating tribute." - The Observer "Five Stars. These masterly performances under the baton of George Benjamin provide the focus of the RCO's inventive tribute to the composer, captured live at concerts during his centenary year. A rewarding programme in superb sound." - BBC Music Magazine The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra focused extensively on Olivier Messiaen as well as his musical predecessors, students and disciples in its 2007 / 2008 season, during which this album was recorded. In addition to two compositions by Messiaen, this live recording features three premieres of works commissioned by the RCO: Geert van Keulen’s orchestration of Paul Dukas’s La plainte, au loin, du faune…, Marc-André Dalbavie’s La source d’un regard and Robert Zuidam’s Adam-Interludes.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
