David Pipe: Messiaen's La Nativité

David Pipe performs Messiaen’s evocative nine-movement cycle telling the story of the birth of Christ.

Composed when Messiaen was only in his mid-twenties, this iconic work depicts the shepherds, angels and wise men, before concluding with the dramatic ‘Dieu parmi nous’ toccata.

Part of the Kirklees Concert Season.
