Sublime Sabine Meyer. Expressive, honest, poetic, disarming, moving. A voice in constant search and full of questions, she and her instrument. Just as Messiaen would have wanted it.
The length of the silence in the audience after the first violinist's last note is a testimony both to Messiaen's sublime composition and to the musicians' incredible craft and spirit. This is a performance of utter contemplation and Grace. Thank you to the production team.
Quelle intensité, quelle intensité avec ces 4 instrumentistes. Vitalité explosive des mouvements rapides. Mais je ne connais aucune autre œuvre qui ouvre l’âme à l’éternité comme le font les 2 louanges, qui mènent à une forme de joie extatique qu’on voudrait éternelle.....merci, merci❤
I read online that this music was written by a POW during World War 2. It was said that when this was played, many prisoners and guards burst into tears.... What soul this music posses
My high school invited musicians and had them play this for us. One of them told us exactly this. This is also the reason why the instrumentation is rather unusual, those were the only Instruments available to him at the time
@@fridtjofkielgast1883 yes ... and the only musicians available to him in that context
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatuor_pour_la_fin_du_temps
Premiered January 15, 1941 at the Stalag VIIA prisoner of war camp. Messiaen was lucky to have a sympathetic, music-minded senior camp guard, Carl-Albert Brüll, who slipped him music paper and later a wrote a letter that got Messiaen released to return to France.
And under the circumstances, it must have seemed like the end of time.
@@richarddevisser7841 My understanding is that the cello only had three strings.
Des musiciens exceptionnels pour une Œuvre Exceptionnelle ! Bravo et merci.
HEARD THIS LIVE, IT MUST BE EXPERIENCED LIVE. it consumes your soul with hope,god and love,amidst the debris of the world. EXCELLENT MUSICIANS HERE, BRAVE AND GREAT TO PERFORM SUCH A VERY TAXING AND HARD PIECE. bravo to you all, beautiful lady chellist,and the clarinestist, YOU ARE SO GREAT, AND WONDROUS, THANK YOU
What a resolution to the piece; every single person dazzled into the hypnosis of a moment stretched into an eternity, of notes seemingly slowing the passage of time to a crawl. That was some of the most incredibly deft playing I've ever seen or heard. What an unbelievably delicate touch both the violinist & pianist possess.
Fantastic concert. All four musicians are exceptionally great. Sabine Meyer at the clarinet is awesome.
Sabine is the best

Oeuvre splendide. Tant de sentiments exprimés. Un universalité dans l'expression.
Il dolore e lo strazio in musica. Bellissima interpretazione: 4 musicisti straordinari.
I love the chemistry between musicians, it's so cool to see them understand each other and have fun together¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cette oeuvre, exécuté dans des conditions glaciales sur des instruments malades, devant un public de plusieurs centaines de compagnons de guerre, Messiaen a déclaré plus tard "je n'ai jamais été écouté avec autant d'attention et de compréhension"
Hechizada, geniales los músicos. ¡BRAVÍSIMO!,🎻🎶🙏❤🌈 Gracias.
Outstanding levels of musicianship to be able to play music of this complexity and with such powerful interpretation..
So transparent, independent and yet perfectly together.
Como no descubrí antes esta obra maestra! Tengo 82 años!
Wonderful!! the best performance of this piece I've heard
Ne jamais oublier que cette œuvre grandiose a été créée le 15 janvier 1941 au Stalag VII A de Göerlitz par Olivier Messiaen, Jean Le Boulaire, Henri Akoca et Etienne Pasquier et qu'il convient de remercier le Commandant allemand de ce camp de prisonniers d'avoir immédiatement perçu le génie du compositeur et le talent de ses compagnons musiciens. Tous furent libérés quelques temps après et purent regagner leur pays, la France.
Merci commandant.
I wonder how his co-prisoners, who heard this first, received it...
Absolutely stunning...
My dream is to play chamber music with great musicians in a beautiful church like that.
Bro me too, let's both do it. Dibs on cello.
Greatest appreciation for the musicians, support technicians and audience who had to endure this tortuous opus. It was a superb performance and production!
lmao
Waooo, ça c'est un concert. Le dernier mouvement notamment est absolument incroyablement joué par la violoniste. Bravo ! Et bravo à Messiaen bien entendu pour tout ce qu'il a composé, et notamment cette pièce de jeunesse largement composée sous un froid glacial, et qui reste un monument absolu 80 ans plus tard
Amazing piece ! Im totally in love ❤️ beetween europe and oriental music and dodeca. Ooooo yes with big master and tasty . Congratulations for this incredible musicians too.
Fantastic performance!!
All parts are elegant and clear!
梅森這首為鋼琴 弦樂 單簧管的四重奏，作品
哲理深邃，四位演奏家默契十足，樂音調合優雅是不得多見的極品演奏，堪稱音樂嚮宴，超讚，謝謝！
壢愚山人謹識
可以聽一下梅西安的歌劇，那首配器各種花樣聽得我頭暈目眩，太厲害了
Me sorprende la excelente calidad de sonido. Saludos cordiales
Splendide interprétation, paul, ancien élève de Jean Pasquier et à ce titre "ami" d'Etienne Pasquier rencontré à plusieurs reprises dans les dernières années de sa vie.
the sequence at 19:05 is perhaps the most beautiful moment I can think of in all of music.
This is one of the best things I have ever experienced ever. Supreme players that is recorded supremely in a supreme place too.
Olivier Messian composed this when he was a-prisoner-of-war, and "premiered at the [prison] camp in 1941 by the composer and three fellow internees for an audience of 5000 prisoners. He commented later: Never was I listened to with such rapt attention and comprehension." This info comes from John Stanley´s book "Classical Music".
Wonderful interpretation of a wonderful masterpiece!
19:34-19:42 is what keeps bringing me back.
Agreed, that's so satisfying
My first time hearing this piece with Bertrand Chamayou at the keys. Absolutely sublime.
This is haunting and beautiful
Yes, it's really like one soul of man on watch at Eternity.
Incroyable prestation. Merci!
Great musicians! Very beaultiful music. I had an opportunity to see Sabine Meyer a long time ago attending a concert at the municipal theater here in Rio de Janeiro.
Extraordinary performance - infinitely moving.
Géniale interprétation. Bravo !!!
Bravo ! Great performance beautiful interpretation , very accurate and true to the wonderful score.
One of the best performance I've seen from Sabine Meyer. Great control,colors and expression in thec3rd movement.
Music out of this world.
Capolavoro......musica e interpretazione sublimi......
Stunning! Bravo! This piece captures so well the twentieth century’s weariness and despair, as well as the joy of humanity. It reminds me of Shostakovich.
yeah, you can hear some Shostakovich in here. French and Russian music have some affinities.
Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction 💥🕌
Excellent clarinetist.
The "Louange à l'Immortalité de Jésus" is unspeakably gorgeous. [39:33]. The audience just doesn't want to sully the moment by clapping at the end.
Breathtakingly beautiful music, played superbly and recorded perfectly! What a discerning and musically sophisticated audience! I love the way they delayed their applause!
The same delay happened in Budapest last year. I loved it!
Beautiful!
Dear Sol, I saw you several years ago in the Mozarteum with Messiaen's "Quator pour la fin du temps" when you won the Karajan Prize. You are amazing and your cello work brilliant, I have not seen you in Vienna, only in Salzburg, but very happy for it. May you and Andès and your family rejoice in the coming peace of this Christmas. With best wishes and thanks, Gregor Dekleva
This is sublime!
Interned at Gorlitz Camp, in Silesia, he was constantly hungry, often terribly cold, had hallucinations, and experienced ongoing synesthesia of sound and color. But, he had the good fortune of finding a violinist, a cellist, and a clarinetist among the prisoners. Considered inoffensive by camp authorities, Messiaen can use pencil and paper and immediately composes a short trio for these three musicians. It is "intermède," part 4 of this quartet. He also transcribes a segment of his Fetes des belles eaux, for the piano and cello (part 5) and the second part of a work originally intended for organ, his Dyptique, for the violin and piano (part 8). But all the other parts are original pieces, including his first reference to birds, in part 3.
I daresay that the violin part of "Liturgie de cristal" is already a reference to birdsong...
Really amazing clarinet.
What a great performance 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a fun instrumentation
Merveilleuse version. Mais Messiaen avait déjà composé le si beau thème qu' on entend dans les 3ème et 7ème mouvements, en 1937 : écoutez "l'eau", 4ème mouvement de "fontaine des belles eaux".
Excellent !
incroyable, merci beaucoup!
Thank you for not clapping too early!
Wonderful performance!
Extraordinary.
two years later and it is still extraordinary
Fantastic!
Breathtaking performance. Listeners may find the Wikipedia article on this piece interesting and useful.
Quatuor pour la fin du Temps. Olivier Messiaen tenait au "T" majuscule.
Beautiful
And ... beautiful and haunting
Another great moment 28:00... watching their body movement alone is so COOL!!!
Arguably the best musical composition of the WWII era. The trumpets were furious (with love to you and bravissimo to all four wonderful musicians), and the first louange was exquisite. A little faster in places and more violin volume would make it perfect.
dream team! amazing!
Bellísima música, su interpretación es sublime
Extraordinary
le deuxieme mouvement sorte d'intermede sans clarinette est très léger, agréable!
le sixième sympa aussi
le huititème très consonant...
Que maravilla! realmente mágico...
Que lindo nombre tienes. El mismo de mi difunta abuela paternal. ♥
Wow! First time I've ever heard this piece. Haunting. Birdsong (Messiaen was an ornithologist) can be heard in many places. I hear a lot of sadness in this piece.
Meraviglioso
Maravilloso y fascinante ❤
Fantasique piece. Fine performence
Ce
I was expecting some cacophonous shit to get into the whole end of the world thing here in this weird moment in time that 2020 is, but this is so moving and beautiful and makes me face so many of my fears, and embrace hope in such a weird way. I can't remember the last time I was so deep into my feelings.
Yes Alfredo. That's what this piece does.
Kind of like Pina Bausch's word: "Dance! Else we are all lost!"
2019 - 1941 equal 78 years ago. And yet remains ageless as expression of human dispair.
Mágico!!!!
Sensacional!!!
Bravo !
Sublime!
Amazing. Thank you.
amazing
Now, I understand why Jonny Greenwood loves this composer. I feel like I'm listening to Radiohead in some sections. That last movement is so tense AND so relaxing. Very strange.
time to broaden your horizons
Une pure merveille que Richard Powers analyse avec brio dans son roman ORFEO.
Pour moi la dimension de "KZ Muzik" ne m'apparaît pas évidente. Au contraire il s'agit de s'évader virtuellement du Stalag, références religieuses et bibliques ou pas. Le mouvement "abîme des oiseaux" lui aurait été inspiré par un poête polonais prisonnier comme lui.
Priceless.
👏exelent
breathtaking music. mass destruction, mass corruption, the souls are suffering, waiting for the last Hero, inside you.
Grandissimo Chamayou!
Bravissimi.
17:28 the best part
yes, this movement is so lovely
Where is God? Where is the voice of Nature? Inefable! Here? Maybe a glowing reflection of a silly aspect of reality.
Agree
17:05 wooow this ending of the 4th movement!
靈魂是可以昇華的，時間是可以被遺忘的。
Exelent!!!!😊
"If I composed this quartet, it was to escape from the snow, from the war, from captivity, and from myself. The greatest benefit that I drew from it was that in the midst of thirty thousand prisoners, I was the only man who was not one."
