Messiaen - a life in colour

[mjdbruyn]

What is the image shown at 8:56 ? (the matrix of metal spikes of different lengths) Is that a part of a church organ or something? I'm very much intrigued, because it looks like something I imagined once while listening to Mode de Valeurs et d'Intensitées.

These are organ pipes, lots of pipes inside the organ look like this.

doesn't get any better than messiaen. A huge influence on 20th century music that is still being felt to this day.

This film is a nice introduction to the festival... I hope that people from London will realize how lucky they are to have such a festival organised with top artists.
