Thanks for uploading this impressive performance. When I was a student in the early 1970s it would have been unusual for anyone to perform Messiaen's piano works from memory!
Well, (just an anecdote) I remember a masterclass where Mme. Loriod gave one guy a punch on his buttock saying "il faut jouer par coeur!" (he played the Courlis cendré) -She's so great.
Mooi Daniël !

I like that! I have no aptitude for memorizing myself, so I wouldn't have got far in her class!
