AGP96 features works by two composers who studied with the great Olivier Messiaen: Allain Gaussin and Susumu Yoshida. The influence of Messiaen is evident in the lovely sound combinations produced by both composers. Two of the works, in fact, are dedicated to Messiaen: Utsu-Semi by Yoshida (which is still the best evocation of crickets I've ever heard) and Eclipse by Gaussin.

This installment contains complete transcriptions of two LPs (Calliope CAL1853 and EMI C 069-83037), both included in the excellent Musique Francaise d'Aujourd'Hui collection. The installment includes a PDF file with scans of the notes included with both LPs, all of which are in French. The installment fits on one 80-minute CD with a whopping two seconds to spare, as long as you burn it DAO without pauses between tracks.
