ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms 2008:

Another chance to hear a Prom celebrating the centenary of the birth of Olivier Messiaen, one of the most inspirational, colourful and influential composers of the 20th century. La transfiguration is a fervent expression of his passionately held Roman Catholic faith, illuminating the moment when Christ was enveloped in light and revealed to his disciples as the Son of God.
