Legendary pianist Peter Donohoe performs Olivier Messiaen’s - Vingt Regards Sur L’Enfant-Jésus which were written and premiered at the close of World War II - a profound meditation on the infancy of Jesus: spiritual, mystical and with a universal message of hope that transcends the destruction of war. Peter Donohoe spent a year in Paris studying with Messiaen and his wife Yvonne Loriod - who premiered the Vingt Regards at the Salle Gaveau, Paris on 26th March 1945. This fascinating programme begins with a rarely heard work from 1970 - La Fauvette Des Jardins - which features birdsong from Isère from dawn to dusk. The second concert begins with a work from 1949 that features Hindu rhythms listed in the 13th Century Sangita Ratnakara. A unique opportunity to be immersed in the extraordinary, colourful and spiritual sound worlds created by Messiaen in the latter half of the 20th century.
