(20) Regards sur l'enfant Jésus
Composed by Olivier Messiaen
with Steven Osborne
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Messiaen's Vingt Regards is a monumental work whose 20 pieces, each with a programmatic religious/spiritual title, run over two hours and demand a pianist, like Osborne, with the virtuosity and idiomatic mastery to do them justice. To the unwary, there's a contradiction between the music's elevated spiritual concerns and the richly textured sounds that reach the ear, especially since those sounds are bathed in sensuous harmonies and modernist chords. But while religiously-inspired music is usually severely austere, Messiaen's colour-drenched sound-world is his analogy for spiritual transcendence. On another plane, this work is an adventure in exciting listening--from the hushed mysteries of the first Regard to the rhetorically powerful final Theme of God. Once heard, the Vingt Regards can't be forgotten as they teem with inventiveness and originality, still sounding fresh sixty years after they were written. Osborne's performance is among the best on disc, virtuosic, well-paced, with a huge dynamic range, fiery in the explosive moments and caressingly sweet in the most contemplative ones. The engineering and notes are exemplary too. --Dan Davis
