Composed in the mid-1960s, La Transfiguration de Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ marked Olivier Messiaen's return to writing for voices after a break of 17 years.
The work is inspired by Christ's transfiguration as reported in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke: the moment when he is suffused with light, speaks with Moses and Elijah, and is named the Son of God.
This huge score, with seven instrumental soloists, a choir of 200 and a vast orchestra, is one of Messiaen's most imposing and powerful creations, a fervent expression of his passionately held Roman Catholic faith - and highlight of this year's Proms Messiaen centenary celebrations.
- Messiaen La Transfiguration de Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ (98 mins)
