Messiaen Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps
Messiaen wrote the piece in a prisoner of war camp in 1940, inspired by the vivid Biblical description of the angel of the apocalypse, and birdsong, which he incorporates into the piece. In an extraordinary moment, it was premiered by fellow prisoners on poor quality instruments in the camp; Messiaen later said: “Never was I listened to with such rapt attention and comprehension”.
“The Sitkovetsky Trio play not just in three individual parts but, more importantly, in three dimensions…” The Australian, 2017
