Olivier Messiaen: Quatuor pour la fin du temps
Part 5: Louange à l'Eternité de Jésus

"(...) une grande phrase, infiniment lente, du violoncelle, magnifie avec amour et révérence l'éternité de ce verbe puissant et doux « dont les années ne s'épuiseront point ». Majestueusement, la mélodie s'étale, en une sorte de lointain et tendre souverain (...)."

Recorded in the Miryhall of the Ghent Music Faculty, using a Zoom Q3 (sound) and a Zoom Q3HD (video).

in some way this reminds me of the very genre of "musical": wanting to sell shit for gold. please not more of it. stinking boring un-inspired head-headed music. no one is needing it! don't bother again!!!

[LukasHuisman]

@oberon240678 Indeed it's very possible that you don't like it at all, that you totally loathe it. And that's ok, that's good! If everyone would like the same things, the world would be a dull and unadventurous place. But a person wrote this piece with none but the best intentions, and lots of people love this music. Please give these people the freedom to really like this music.

beautiful and moving

@oberon240678 Your comment "no one is needing it! don't bother again" is a hasty generalization. I find that many who don't appreciate this style of music haven't studied the background of it and why we even have it. Perhaps, you ought to just listen to more simple minded music.

@deandusk stinging!

I find this interpretation absolutely stunning, exactly the proportions I would wait. The Warped Time ensemble shows an outstanding maturity. This is exactly the Joy, the contained Joy of the After The World, the inner Joy, the Joy of contemplation. Olivier Messiaen was a PoW in Germany, forbidden to write music, when he composed this in 1940-5. He found the peace of mind amidst the chaos. Maybe is it hard to enjoy. Thank you, LukasHuisman for this marvelous cycle of musical videos.

@DannyDaWriter you fail, indeed.

@WillimDeCodDd I fail to see how this relates to the Eternity of The Christ.
