Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano)

Messiaen: Catalogue d’oiseaux, I / 42

"Aimard’s interpretations are anything but tame. His dynamic range is formidable, his voicing of chords scrupulously faithful, his clarity unimpeachable. It’s hard to imagine the textures having greater impact or precision, or the continuity and discontinuity being projected with greater concentration…Not a single sound emerges with indifference." - Gramophone Magazine April 2018
