O. Messiaen: Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus (no. 15: Le Baiser de l'Enfant-Jésus) - Aimard
Pierre-Laurent Aimard performs "Le Baiser de l'Enfant-Jésus", a movement of Messiaen's huge piano cycle "Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus".
Olivier Messiaen's Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jésus (20 Contemplations of the Infant Jesus) are a towering specimen of twentieth century pianism. The work lasts more than two hours on those rare occasions when performed -- as Messiaen intended the pieces to be -- as a complete cycle. Written in 1944 and premiered the following year by Messiaen's wife Yvonne Loriod, whose masterful early performances and recordings of Messiaen's piano works did tremendous amount to bring his music to a wider audience in the 1950s and 1960s, the Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jésus plunge into the raw depths of Messiaen's Christian faith; the scintillating and frighteningly (but exhilaratingly) virtuosic fast movements prove once again how primal and joyful Messiaen's religion was to him, and the slow movements touch the sublime in ways that perhaps no composer of Western sacred or sacred-inspired music since J.S. Bach has managed with quite the same steadfast selflessness.
In this composition Messiaen created perhaps the quintessential twentieth century Christmas suite for piano. In it, he contemplates virtually all the figures associated with the story of the Nativity, and with many of the theological implications of the same event. Some of the movements are tender; others are full of roaring power, as Messiaen turns his attention to cosmic implications.
The Vingt Regards are brilliantly chromatic music; the work is, for many, the high point of Messiaen's so-called early period (which is usually considered to have ended with the Turangalîla-symphonie of 1946-1948). A number of symbolic musical motives appear throughout the score, creating a basic-level cyclicism; the most important of these is the God theme that we first hear in the very slow No. 1 "Regard du Père" and which then returns to prominence every few movements -- specifically, every five. The Vingt Regards are built as four groups of five pieces, but there are many other numerological schemes employed that overlap with that basic pentastyle design -- Messiaen himself explained some of these meaningful uses of number in a preface to the score. The score falls into two halves, the first of which features the electrifying fugal outburst of No. 6, "Par Lui tout a été fait," and the second of which concludes with the magnificent musical and spiritual peroration of No. 20, "Regard de l'église d'amour" -- a true peroration that recalls and reshapes many of the events of the past two hours, and music of extraordinary power.

A. Scriabin: Vers la flamme (Sofronitsky)

IMHO the best recording ever made of this literally flamboyant piece by the russian composer Alexander Scriabin. Sofronitsky mixes strength and power with softness and light textures sometimes even reminding the impressionistic experiments of Debussy. Alexander Scriabin completed his Vers la Flamme, Op. 72 for solo piano in 1914. It is a brief work around six minutes in duration, but its epic q...

His most ingenious and innovative polonaise? You have to do some lightning quick changeovers to produce that legato bass.

I’m sorry but the piano is VERY out of tune (about 1/32 tone)

That part of Dolce et espress. makes me tears❤
I am learning this piece at this time, and I think it’s a piece of cake. At least it’s not one of those piano Concerto that have all these things that want to destroy your brain cells.
Master Rubinstein plays the master work of Chopin 😀 Nothing but incredible
You know if the name was written by Chopin? In that case, it's an hommage to Schumann 100% (the Theme it's a variation of fantasiestücke by Schumann and he tried to suicide himself twice)
R.I.P Maurice Pollini ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This inspiring playing got me into learning this piece!
🎼🎹💐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No problem !

Ooof. So much in 5. minutes. From Loneliness, misery, to hope, infatuation, love, betrayal, sadness, rage, and resignation. A meaning each of us find from our own stories in these timeless works. Only the genius can achieve this. <3
Like when ww2 ended

J'ai beaucoup joué cette polonaise parmi d'autres. La meilleure interprétation, selon mes goûts et mon ressenti est celle d'Arthur Rubinstein. Je n'ai pas encore entendu une version qui l'égale ...

That double rest in the third to last bar before the end of the piece took my breath away, this piece has me in shambles T_T
Вот это гениально, я понимаю.
Yo estaba en la universidad cuando aprendí a tocar este Nocturno, nunca fui pianista pero llevaba la materia de Piano Funcional. Escuchar esta obra me trae recuerdos y siempre será algo que nunca olvidaré pues en aquella época tuve depresión y tocar esta pieza en aquel estado hizo que me sintiera menos solo, sin duda me dio fuerza y apoyo para salir de aquel abismo. Agradezco tanto a Chopin porque su música me llena de una paz que no puedo describir y siempre ha estado conmigo en momentos difíciles, incluso en estos días en los cuales la depresión regresa.
Definitely the most beautiful of all op 25 etudes, but there is something really bad with Pollini: he always plays so fast, like being hunted by someone. Well, etudes are the backbone of virtuosity, but I certainly prefer the interpretation of Baremboim because he gives the romantism of this piece - it's Chopin, afterall - absolutely perfectly despite being somewhat slower. Chopin himself was not paying so much attention on speed, but on sound (dynamics and expressivity), as his main purpose of composing in general.
0:43
Have to study this underrated work in more depth. Fully understand Boulez's fascination with it. It is more forward looking than the great pieces by his more conservative colleague and compatriot, Rachmaninoff, another great pianist and composer.
Piano = instrument à percussion. Cette performance décrit bien cela.
A kid played this at my piano competition today...
I don't understand why everyone seems to ommit the middle b flat in the final arpeggiated chord, even though the score clearly shows it (i.e., everyone seems to play only 5 of the notes, not all 6).
I loved your interpretation of Tico-tico no fubá.
love that piece!
😢😢
One of the greatest recordings of all time.👍
I had no idea this was on UA-cam. I was looking for this for years! Edit to add: this is some seriously messed up stuff, I hate that guy for messing up good and decent things. It was an amazing piece marred by corruption and greed once again.
Well, now you have found it :)
