thanks "messjuh1". i need to practice the piece more to get the kinks out and to get it slightly faster. i don't like to too fast like some of the performances i have heard, because it loses its weighty character. when i recorded this it was basically new to me, and now i should perfect it, but where is the time for all of this great music to be learned!? thanks again for your comment!

This is really beautifully played, Darren. And the images go very well with the message of the music.

yes...yes!

Bring more! More to bring! Bringing to more! More to the bringing! To bring more! Then fall to the floor.

The eyes see the truth and they cannot be shut! The truth cannot escape the fury of the eyes!

The seven eyes will tear it all asunder with the truth and no one can show the eyes the truth, for the eyes already know the truth!

thank you but i don't agree that Rafael's painting is appropriate. i wanted all modern paintings and photos to go with the time period of Messiaen. What you are mainly seeing in this video are images of wheels and gears, and eyes. that's basically it. i didn't want to have too many "themes" because it's only two minutes long. i don't think any of the artwork, except maybe one or two, could be called mundane, as you say.
