Borne out of a passion for protecting the environment, ABC Gardening Australia's Peter Cundall along with Michael Kieran Harvey, one of Australia's greatest living pianists, presented Catalogue d'oiseaux (catalogue of Birdsong), by Olivier Messiaen, in Hobart during the Ten days on the Island festival in April 2005. Peter Cundall narrated the work while Michael Kieran Harvey played.

Virtuoso pianist Michael Kieran Harvey's dazzling pianistic pyrotechnics are displayed to the full in this amazing live performance at Morrilla in Tasmania.

"... Catalogue d'oiseaux is a work of prodigious dimensions, a phantasmagoria of sounds and forms, some airy and mysterious, others monumental, incandescent with emotion, framed by the composer to reveal with crystalline acuity the birdsong he recorded for years and the creatures' characters and habitats . . . The narrator, ABC gardening expert Peter Cundall, was, like Messiaen, a naturalist, bird-lover and prisoner of war in the 1940s. The empathic Harvey-Cundall partnership, and its championing of nature, was generous and sincere." - Lee Christofis, The Australian.
