Students from the Royal Academy of Music play Thème et Variations for violin and piano, and 'Chants de Terre et de Ciel' for soprano & piano – two songs from the 1930s that celebrate Messiaen's domestic happiness. Plus, Tippett's 'The Heart's Assurance', his song-cycle for high voice & piano – powerful post-war songs on the theme of 'love under the shadow of death', dedicated to the memory of his soulmate Francesca Allinson.
