Noel - Yvonne Loriod

[@gagaku144]

Just some explanation here. 'Noël' is the 13th piece from 'Vingt regards sur l'Enfant Jésus', composed by Messiaen in 1944. The piece depicts ringing bells - hence the surprise of Messiaen and Loriod when the bell of the church begins to ring while she plays this piece. What you see then, is Messiaen listening to the harmonics of the bell (he had an incredible ear), and Loriod playing them at the keyboard.

What a discovery, this intimate little video. I met both of them in 1973 in Westminster Cathedral. He was an unassuming man, she a total darling.

Jamais vu Messiaen aussi sérieux. Lui qui en temps normal est si joyeux et jovial. J'imagine qu'il y a une signification derrière tout cela.

[@pianxtremeyt]

Well tbh he's lived a long life at this point, theres not much to be too happy about anyway. Now I dont want to be a grump or anything, but this is why lots of older people are irritable is bc of all life trauma, health, maybe loss of a loved one, much more than younger people

[@オリバーオリバー-e4d]

What a synchronicity - bells ringing right as the last note of the piece is played. Amazing.

[@bernab]

It is a great piece of music but I like even more how they saw each other and how Loriod told Messiaen "It's the good Lord responding to you".

[@GZ9090]

What a beautiful moment captured on film!! You can see the intense passion and respect for one another! There is something really special about this to me. Perhaps you could call it spiritual or something!! That look at 4:40 is very deep!!

[@andrewnguyen1220]

Messiaen is very impressed that piano music and skills when Messiaen making that face

[@Twentythousandlps]

He appears to be "not himself" near the end of his life, as she plays the music he wrote for her virtuoso capacities way back in 1944. It looks like she took good care of him as well as his music.

So great. Thank you! Omg the bells at the end.

More information o out this video? Is this in 1985?

[@chino_jap0nes]

I’ve been pretty surprised to see people calling vingt regards “noise” or “nonmusical” blah blah. I’m not too acquainted with the classical world but even I’ve heard stuff that’s more out there than this like some of schoenbergs stuff or some Ligeti. This is really enjoyable but I do tend to love dissonance (to a certain extent) in music. E.g. I love Forlane from le tombeau de couperin, especially the bit near the end where it turns into nightmare music lol. Catalogue d’Oiseaux now THAT might be a tough listen, my ears will really need to adjust to that sound

[@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743]

So haunting... but not as haunting as Messiaen's piercing stares..

Quel église?

[@timothytikker1147]

Notre-Dame du Liban, Paris, France. Messiaen liked to make recordings there (apart from his organ music, that is).

The video's aspect ratio is wrong. It was recorded in 4x3 shape and got stretched into 16x9 dimensions and made everyone's face wider. So unfortunate...

[@aquarius044]

Mais qu'est-ce qu'il a, le pauvre Messiaen? Il a pas l'air «tout là», on dirait. Son style vestimentaire est bien étrange avec sa chemise criarde et son pantalon bleu poudre remonté jusqu'à la poitrine. Mais surtout, quelle curieuse indifférence face à sa femme qui vient de donner une extraordinaire leçon de virtuosité. Il attend que les cloches cessent de sonner? Malaise...

[@chronochromie772]

Pardonnez cet homme qui a traversé tant de choses dans sa vie - le fait qu'il ait prêté attention au carillon de la cloche montre son lien profond avec le Divin.

This is not just common noise. There is a reason for every note. Messaien studied new modes, new scales, the singing of the birds in the alps, he had a profound respect for the arguments he wrote about, there is a deep meaning and a deep but difficult harmony in his writings.
