With Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Isabelle Faust, Jean-Guihen Queyras and Jörg Widmann, four outstanding soloists dedicated themselves to Olivier Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du temps, a unique work of music history, and performed it together on the site of the former prisoner of war camp just outside of German-Polish town Görlitz/Zgorzelec where the camp’s so-called "theater barrack" once stood and where Messiaen composed and premiered the quartet on January 15, 1941 in front of fellow prisoners.
