Sir Simon Rattle conducts Messiaen

In this concert, the Karajan Academy, members of the Berliner Philharmoniker, pianist Kirill Gerstein and Sir Simon Rattle traverse the red canyons of Utah and up to the stars: Olivier Messiaen's Des Canyons aux étoiles... is a birthday present to the USA from the composer – and at the same time a spiritual anthem to the interweaving of the divine with nature, with the voices of birds and the colours of the rainbow.
