Olivier Messiaen stands as one of the most influential composers of
the twentieth century and among the foremost religious artists of
any era. When he died in 1992, the prevailing image was of a deeply
religious man whose only sources of inspiration were God and
Nature, and of a composer whose music progressed along an entirely
individual path, impervious to contemporaneous events and the whims
both of his fellow artists and the critics. The Life of Messiaen
paints a more nuanced picture of the man and the musician, peering
behind Messiaen's public persona to examine the private
difficulties and creative struggles that were the true backdrop to
many of his greatest achievements. Based upon the latest research,
including previously overlooked sources, this book provides an
excellent introduction to Messiaen's life and work, presenting a
fascinating new perspective of a man whose story is more remarkable
than the myths surrounding it.
