Synopsis

Product Description
Grammy Award winner Gloria Cheng brings an exquisite array of touch to this program which couples the first mature works of Olivier Messiaen with the darkly radiant music of Kaija Saariaho, who attended this first recording of her ''Ballade'' and ''Prelude''. Cheng is joined by the genre-crossing Calder Quartet for Saariaho's 2003 trio ''Je sens un deuxieme coeur'' and Messiaen's ''Piece pour piano et quatuor a cordes''. As the New York Times says, ''It's not just that Ms. Cheng plays?with such commanding technique, color and imagination. She has brought together works that fascinatingly complement one another.''
