Arkadiusz Bialic - Messiaen: La Nativite Du Seigneur

Arkadiusz Bialic was born in 1976 in Krakow. Although he initially learned to play the piano and violin, at the age of 13, fascinated by the sound of the organ, he began learning to play this instrument. He studied music in Krakow under the guidance of Prof. Jozef Serafin. Arkadiusz Bialic is the first Polish winner of the prestigious Grand Prix de Chartres.

The cycle La Nativit� du Seigneur was composed by Olivier Messiaen in 1935 and is still considered one of his key works. The Birth of the Saviour is a piece in which, on the one hand, we can observe a number of solutions that testify to the fully developed compositional craft of the French artist, on the other, it is one of the most fervent manifestations of Messiaen's worship of Christ and the Christian religion.
