In addition to the recordings Karen listed below I have a recording of both
Poèmes pour Mi (1936) and Chants de terre et de ciel (1938). Jane Manning is
the soprano, David Mason the pianist. It is an LP and may be available in
reissue on CD or available through some audiophile recording dealer. The label
is Unicorn-Kanchana/ DKP 9043. Manning wrote the book _New Vocal Repertory: An
Introduction_ published by Macmillans.

Recordings available:

Messaien: Harawi and Poemes pour Mi; the latter sung by Jacqueline Delman,
with Lucia Negro on piano. on the BIS label

Messaien: Poemes pour Mi, Sept Haikai, etc. This is the classic
orchestral recording, conducted by Pierre Boulez, and sung by Francoise
Pollet

Book two only is found on "Hans Zender Edition, vol 9 - Schoenberg,
Messiaen", sung by Judith Beckmann

Book one only is found on "A Concert Tribute to Olivier Messiaen"
performed by Teresa Hopkin

Felicity Palmer also recorded the less-often performed orchestral version
under Boulez about 25 years ago, but the LP was never reissued on CD.
Still, may be worth keeping an eye out for on LP (2nd hand).

We're sitting in the opera house;
We're waiting for the curtain to arise
With wonders for our eyes,
A feeling of expectancy,
A certain kind of ecstasy,
Expectancy and ecstasy....Sh's's's.
