Description: Further DetailsTitle: Messiaen: Vingt Regards Sur L'enfant-Jésus/...Condition: NewFormat: CDDescription: “Vingt Regards sur l’enfant Jésus,” composed by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) in 1944, is a monumental work for solo piano that stands as one of the most significant pieces in the 20thcentury piano repertoire. The title translates to “Twenty Contemplations on the Infant Jesus,” and the work is a deep spiritual meditation on the mysteries of the Christian faith, particularly the incarnation of Jesus. Messiaen, a devout Catholic, imbues each of the twenty movements with profound theological symbolism, exploring themes such as the Virgin Mary, the Star of Bethlehem, and the adoration of the Magi. His use of complex rhythms, unique harmonic language, and bird song transcriptions—elements characteristic of his style—create a deeply immersive and mystical soundscape. The piece, a cornerstone of the piano repertoire, challenges the performer with its technical demands and emotional depth. Messiaen’s music here is both reflective and ecstatic, intended to evoke a sense of the divine and the eternal. This is the third and last instalment of Messiaen’s complete piano music by Italian pianist Ciro Longobardi, a specialist in contemporary repertoire. His previous recording of Catalogue d’Oiseaux (PCL10155) received excellent reviews, a.o. a 5-star review in French Diapason.Genre: ClassicalArtist: Olivier MessiaenNo Of Discs: 1Country/Region of Manufacture: GermanyRecord Label: Piano ClassicsEAN: 5029365102469Edition: AlbumRelease Date: 01/24/2025Composer: Olivier MessiaenStyle: InstrumentalMPN: PCL10246Release Year: 2025Tracks: Disc 11: Regard Du Père2: Regard De L'étoile3: L'échange4: Regard De La Vierge5: Regard Du Fils Sur Le Fils6: Par Lui Tout a Été Fait7: Regard De La Croix8: Regard Des Hauteurs9: Regard Du Temps10: Regard De L'esprit De Joie11: Première Communion De La Vierge12: La Parole Toute-puissanteDisc 21: Noël2: Regard Des Anges3: Le Baiser De L'enfant-Jésus4: Regard Des Prophètes, Des Bergers Et Des Mages5: Regard Du Silence6: Regard De L'onction Terrible7: Je Dors, Mais Mon Coeur Veille8: Regard De L'eglise D'amour9: Le Rouge-gorge10: Le Merle Noir11: Le Rouge-gorge12: La Grive Musicienne13: Le Rouge-gorge14: L'alouette Des Champs Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
