Background: Pierre-Laurent Aimard has a strong personal connection to Messiaen: he studied piano with the composer's wife Yvonne Loriod from the age of twelve and won the Messiaen Competition in 1973. He has been a champion of Messiaen's music throughout his career, one of the few pianists to keep this repertoire alive in the concert hall and bring new admirers to it.

For this anniversary album, Aimard has selected the early 8 Préludes (1928-29), the tense Quatre Études de rythme (1949-50) and excerpts from the cycle Catalogue d’oiseaux (1956-58), showcasing the broad spectrum of Messiaen’s piano works.
