At no time in its long history did European music go through a period of such revolution and diversification as in the 20th Century. Wagner had transformed music in the 19th century to the extent that every composer coming after had to acknowledge his existence, to a lesser or greater extent. The advent of the new century saw a great flourishing of compositional styles and techniques that were largely the direct result of Wagner's influence. Not only that, the new century was to be one of great technological advance and invention. The gramophone and, later, the spread of radio, brought about massive changes in the way that ordinary people accessed and perceived music. Suddenly a whole new world of serious music was to open up to an audience that had hitherto been excluded from what had previously been, albeit unintentionally, an elitist art form. The works in this set of 16 CDs have been arranged in strict chronological order of composition and the first disc begins with a work from 1901 that has become one of the most popular works in the classical repertoire, mainly through it's use in another great 20th-century art form – the film: Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto. Thereafter each disc in the set takes the listener on a fascinating journey through the century, composer by composer and work by work, from Russian Romanticism, French Impressionism, English Pastoralism, Atonalism, Neo Classicism right up to Post Modernism, and from as wide a range of countries and genres as possible. |

Olivier Messiaen, Yvonne Loriod, Marie-Claire Alain, Katia and Marielle Labeque Kent Nagano & Pierre Boulez includes a disc of Olivier Messiaen interviewed by Claude Samuel (in French), 1988 “A bumper bargain box of some of the greatest recordings-compulsive.” BBC Music Magazine, 1st October 2005 “…her playing is nothing short of magnificent – superb range of sonority, rock-sure rhythm, unfailing attention to polyphonic strands, thrilling attack and tender caress in equal measure. … Under her touch there seems to be no such thing as a worn-out harmony or an unmusical one.” Gramophone Magazine (on Yvonne Loriod's piano performances on these CDs)  BBC Music Magazine
