From the BBC Proms 1998
2: Prom 40, given on 18 August, featured "noises, sounds and sweet airs" to beguile the ear in George Benjamin 's new work based on The Tempest. This brief flight of magic is the highlight of a programme ranging from the religious fervour of Messiaen's holy vision to the sensual pleasures of Robin Holloway 's choral fresco and Scriabin's Poem.
David Wilson-Johnson (baritone), BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductors
Oliver Knussen and Stephen Cleobury Messiaen L 'Ascension
