Messiaen Five pieces from Vingt
Regards sur L’Enfant-Jesus

One of the leading exponents of the French piano tradition, Jean-Philippe Collard presents a beguiling and unusual programme of three of the most individual yet universal French composers. It includes his own choice of pieces from Messian’s monumental Vingt Regards sur L’Enfant-Jesus, only a few days before the centenary of the composer’s birth.
