Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time (Louange à l'Éternité de Jésus) | Manchester Collective

From our 2017 live show, THE END OF TIME, this is one of the really special moments from Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time.
Scored for just two members of the quartet, this movement happens almost in slow motion. It's incredibly beautiful and incredibly difficult, requiring masterful control on behalf of the players.
Cello: Guy Johnston
Piano: Simon Parkin
Recording Engineer: Daniel Elms
Film: Adam Blyth
Filmed at The Stoller Hall, 2 December 2017

Captured. Absolutely stunning

Nice composition of Messiaen. An organist incudes the cello. How nice of an effect.

Rediculous amounts of bow control

Adam Jones Right?! It’s so scary, but so beautiful :)
