From Cadogan Hall, London. Presented by Suzy Klein. Messiaen's song-cycle Harawi is the first part of a trilogy of works inspired by the legend of Tristan and Isolde. Harawi alludes to Peruvian love songs, even though the texts to the 12 songs are by Messiaen himself. Gwenneth-Ann Jeffers (soprano) Simon Lepper (piano).
