Marcel Dupré - Vision, Op. 44 (Audio + Score)

The symphonic poem Vision, Op. 44, first published in 1948, has the explanatory superscription ‘Et la lumière luit dans les ténèbres’ (And the light shines in the darkness). It is with the darkness and lower depths that the work starts, growing louder, until a passage marked Grave, with a trompette theme over shifting sustained chords. The flute stop is used as one of a pair of voices, moving on to an Andante cantabile, introducing the characteristic sounds of the voix céleste. The music slowly unwinds, increasing in pace before a toccata-like Vivo and a dynamic climax, a clearly defined melody and a massive Largamente, as the light shines through the darkness. The work ends with a brief return to the motif of the opening.

Dupre's geniality is far beyond everything.His place in music is equal to Grothendick's one in maths.
