Pianist

One of the most impressive works by the French composer Olivier Messiaen was written in 1940/41, while he was a prisoner of war in a labor camp near Görlitz: "Quatuor pour la fin du Temps" (Quartet for the End of Time) - a musical meditation on the Apocalypse of John in eight movements. The instrumentation was based on the forces and instruments available in the camp: a clarinet, a violin, a cello and a broken piano played by Messiaen himself. The premiere took place in January 1941 in the camp's theater barracks.
