Queen Elizabeth Hall
Pierre Laurent Aimard
Wednesday, 13 February, 7.30pm
- Pierre-Laurent Aimard Piano
- Messiaen Vingt regards sur l'Enfant Jésus
In an unmissable highlight of the festival, Artistic Director Pierre-Laurent Aimard performs Messiaen’s major 20-movement piano work, a meditation on the numerous attributes of the Christ child. Arguably the pinnacle of 20th-century piano writing, these contemplations are at once both tender, near brutal and above all, powerful in the triumphant apotheosis of the cyclical themes.
‘Standing ovations for Messiaen’s two-hour piano cycle Vingt regards sur l’Enfant Jésus. And for a pianist who portrayed it congenially and outstandingly, with passion and imagination: Pierre-Laurent Aimard’ (Neue Zürcher Zeitung).
