I think that Bert is referring to the Messiaen disc Hewitt recorded for
Hyperion. Actually, it would be a nice touch to follow up some Bach
Preludes from the WTC with a few Preludes from Messiaen.
If not Messiaen, which composer would be better to present at a mostly Bach
keyboard concert? Please don't say 'Liszt'; I couldn't hang around for his
music.
