¡Messiaen: Les Corps glorieux (The Glorified Bodies), Messe de la Pentecote
¡Tom Winpenney
Description
[Machine Translation] Two organ works by Messiaen, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. The Glorious Body" is one of Messiaen's favorite works, and it depicts "the battle against death and rejoicing" in all its expressions, including the hidden figures symbolizing the "Holy Trinity" in the Bible. Ten years later, he wrote "Mass of Pentecost" based on an improvised performance he had given in his youth at Sainte-Trinite Church. It is a colorful and mystical piece, full of improvised phrases, ancient Greek rhythms, and the birdsong he loved so much. Recorded in 2016 with organ performance by Tom Wimpenny.
