Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) is perhaps the most original phenomenon of twentieth-century music. He was the most performed composer of his lifetime, and, amongst his French colleagues, enjoyed the widest international acclaim.
Musical genius, untiring innovator and creator of new musical forms, Messiaen was an astounding teacher, a highly spiritual thinker and an acute observer of nature. His insatiable curiosity and unbounded eclecticism led to a mix of sources - most of which had never before been brought to bear upon musical composition - that was as varied as it was unexpected.
THE CRYSTAL LITURGY recreates the universe in which Messiaen evolved. Numerous archival clips, filmed between 1964 and 1987 - predominantly of Messiaen discussing his methods and creative processes, have been brought together to create a self-portrait, illustrated with a great number of excerpts from his oeuvre.
