When the definitive history of 20th-century music comes to be written, Yvonne Loriod will find an honoured place as one of the most influential musicians of the time, not only due to her unique relationship with Messiaen (muse, inspirateur, interpreter), but as a devoted teacher, a dedicated champion of contemporary composers and a phenomenal pianist with a breathtakingly wide repertoire. To mark the occasion of what would have been her 100th birthday (20th January) Universal Music France is reissuing Yvonne Loriods complete Vga recordings in one 13-CD boxed set, including no less than eleven world premiere recordings therein. A 64pp booklet includes personal and endearing essays by friends Claude Samuel, Nigel Simeone, and Loriods protg Roger Muraro.
