Messiaen: Poèmes pour Mi (composed/played for his wife)

At the risk of appearing to be pedantic in the wrong thread for so doing, Dutilleux's piano sonata was written for his only wife (about whom a good schoolboy howler might be that Messiaen wrote Regard de l'Esprit de joie for her) whereas Messiaen wrote the above work for his first wife (although this fact is sadly and embarrassingly not realised by the wondrous soprano Jessye Norman who devotes a page or her recently published book Stand Up Straight and Sing! to a visit to Loriod's apartment in the 1990s - you can probably guess the gaffe)...

Anyway, Nicolai: Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor
