Messiaen: Catalogue d'oiseaux III. part

Olivier Messiaen is undoubtedly one of the most original and influential composers of the last century, and as a nature and bird lover, he has used a variety of bird songs in his works. His monumental Catalogue of Birds is one of the largest-scale keyboard compositions in the history of music, and few people around the world have attempted a complete performance of it in a single evening. One of these exceptions is the pianist László Borbély, who is performing the composition in its entirety for the first time in Hungary. The whole work will be performed in three parts, and will include a lecture by music historian Gergely Fazekas and ornithologist Zoltán Orbán.
