About

Composed in a flash of inspiration, Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus is a veritable 20th-century landmark, a giant fresco, an odyssey. Messiaen draws on the full wealth of his musical language, from plainchant to Hindu and Greek rhythms to birdsong. At once universal and self-evident, the work seems imbued with a certain truth.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

August 2022

Chamayou certainly possesses the scintillating technique and broad palette of tonal colour required for Messiaen’s extraordinary music. As is clear from the thunderous explosions under the bells of ‘Noël’, he also has the necessary power. There is so much to admire here. And yet, there are only glimpses of the stillness underlying the cycle.
3 out of 5 stars (Performance) / 4 out of 5 stars (Recording)

23rd June 2022

for all its technical brilliance – and Chamayou has plenty – there is an element of real joy, almost ecstasy, about his approach.
