Product-Information:
Steven Osborne has already made his name as an outstanding interpreter of Messiaen with his ecstatic recording of the Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jésus (Hyperion, CDA67351 / 2), which was described by
Gramophone as »one of Hyperion's finest piano recordings—quite an achievement in a catalogue of outstanding piano discs«. Here he is joined by Martin Roscoe in an equally revelatory account of Messiaen's other great religious piano cycle, this time for two pianos, the Visions de l'Amen, composed a year before Vingt Regards in 1943. Their combination of emotional power, religious austerity, keyboard colour and dazzling pyrotechnics makes for an overwhelming and physically exhilarating experience. The listener is given an insight to what it must have been like to have heard the premiere of this work, played by Messiaen with his future wife, the immensly gifted 19-year-old Yvonne Loriod, to a strictly invited audience in Occupied Paris.
Steven Osborne plays three solo pieces to complete the disc. The Rondeau was composed at the same time as Visions de l'Amen, but is much less musically (although no less technically) ambitious. The other two pieces were composed in the 1930s, one in a more light-hearted vein, the other a contribution to a memorial volume for Paul Dukas, who died in 1935.
Rezensionen
»Roscoe's piano handles most of the thematic material and the piano's lower reaches; Osborne supplies the iridescent details. Clarity and rhythmic precision cannot be faulted« (The Times)
»These pianists have a marvellous accord in Messiaen's amazing, clangorous, rapturous, visionary jamboree. Only a pile-up of adjectives, to which should be added coruscating and addictively dithyrambic, could do justice« (The Sunday Times)
»played with an ear-tweaking sensitivity and gripping sense of theatre. Exceptionally fine sound, and exemplary notes from Nigel Simeone, complete an outstanding release« (Classic FM Magazine)
»There is much to savour in Osborne and Roscoe's performance, captured in typically superlative Hyperion sound« (BBC Music Magazine)
Rezensionen
FonoForum 07/05: »Dass dieses spröde theologische Meditationswerk auch eine irisierende Klangschönheit besitzt, stellen Steven Osborne und Martin Roscoe in ihrer vor scheuer Sinnlichkeit geradezu knisternden Einspielung dar.«- Tracklisting
