[Dan Finaldi]

Is the Ondes Martenot player playing from memory? I am not worthy.

[bassionbean]

Are any as epic and frequently played as this work? Also compared to e.g. violin, that's a tiny repertoire.

[fishytank1land]

There are 300-1,000 published works for the ondes.

[dstarr5d]

Agreed. The camera work is far too dramatic and obtrusive.

[bassionbean]

Well if you think about it this is one of the only pieces in the Ondes repertoire, it's the least she can do! And she would have played this numerous times before.

[sinshiro]

prove it.

[Paul Bunyan]

I'm 40% cyclops.

[wildmanmichael]

Ich bin verklempt. I've known (and played) a lot of Messiaen over the years, but tonight I'm hearing this symphony for the first time, and I'm speechless.

[Timothy Song]

Sorry, I didn't mean at that time specifically. I just remember seeing her flip a score somewhere. As I was in a rush, I didn't manage to pinpoint the exact location. Still, if Cynthia Miller really was playing without a score it wouldn't be surprising, she's the best Ondes Martinot player in the world!

[djreoofficial]

That's a piano.

[maxcohen13]

You spelled Heaven wrong. There are no L's in the word.
