BBC Proms - 2008 - Messiaen and Saint-Saens

To mark the 100th anniversary of Olivier Messiaen's birth, Charles Hazlewood introduces a concert in which organist Olivier Latry performs Messiaen's solo work L'Ascension and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, under conductor Myung-Whun Chung, perform the monumental Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum. The concert concludes with Camille Saint-Saens's exuberant Organ Symphony.
