Pierre-Laurent Aimard is considered a key figure in the musical life of our time, praised by The Guardian as "one of the best Messiaen interpreters there is". In this interview, he talks about his close relationship with Messiaen and his love and discovery of birdsong, as well as the inner meaning of his work "Réveil des Oiseaux", which Aimard will perform at the GREAT!CLSX concert on May 9 at the Berlin Philharmonie.
