Two hours of ecstasy
Steven Osborne performs Messiaen's groundbreaking and monumental piano work from 1944, Vingt Regards sur l'enfant-J茅sus, a profound expression of his Catholic faith.
Another chance to hear Steven Osborne performing his critically acclaimed interpretation of one of the most groundbreaking piano works of the 20th century. The monumental Vingt Regards sur l'enfant-J茅sus is a moving and personal expression of Messiaen's Catholic faith: 20 contemplations on the infant Jesus, based around three distinctive themes, powerfully woven through the music. With its superhuman demands on concentration and stamina, this is a rare chance to hear complete this intense, two-hour masterpiece.
Presented by Martin Handley from Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
