The human being is flesh and consciousness, body and soul; his heart is an abyss which can only be filled by that which is godly.

Olivier Messiaen

Olivier Messiaen

No one should be allowed to make music as if he were made of wood. One must reproduce the musical text exactly, but not play like a stone.
