Messiaen: Complete Piano Works

Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992) — French composer, organist, and teacher known for his deeply spiritual music, innovative rhythmic structures, use of modes, and distinctive harmonic language. Ciro Longobardi’s complete piano music of Olivier Messiaen has been praised internationally. The collection spans Messiaen’s early works, including the Debussyan Préludes (1928–29), through to late masterpieces like Petites Esquisses d’Oiseaux (1985). This 7 CD set includes Longobardi’s personal reflections on the music alongside Messiaen’s own program notes, offering listeners both interpretive and contextual guidance.
