Messiaen: Trois petites liturgies de la Présence Divine

1. how you come across to it:
from a radio broadcast on Radio 4. don't know why - I like it from the first hearing.

2. why this piece?
one can't imagine it's a religious piece, with such a strong primitvistic flavour in the 3rd movement.

3. (and...)
I like de leeuw's recording in the Asko/Schoenberg Ensemble edition. Do not buy the Wand recording on Profil.
