	Olivier Messiaen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among Messiaen's early students at the Conservatoire were composer Pierre Boulez and pianist Yvonne Loriod.
		In 1943 Messiaen wrote Visions de l'Amen ("Visions of the Amen") for two pianos for Loriod and himself to perform, and shortly afterwards composed the enormous solo piano cycle Vingt regards sur l'enfant-Jésus ("Twenty gazes on the child Jesus") for her.
		Although a considerable pianist himself, he was undoubtedly assisted by Yvonne Loriod's formidable piano technique and ability to convey complex rhythms and rhythmic combinations; in his piano writing from Visions de l'Amen onwards he had her in mind.

		The result was an extraordinary cycle of 20 pieces that are unified by the use of recurring themes, notably the chordal âTheme of Godâ first heard at the opening of the first piece and returning in many guises throughout the work, finally in a triumphant transformation in the last movement.
		Loriod was hard at work preparing the cycle during the fall of 1944, in readiness for the premiere the following March.
		Loriod was just 21 years old when she gave the first performance of the Vingt regards at the Salle Gaveau on March 26, 1945â”Messiaenâs first major premiere since the Liberation.

		By the age of fourteen, she had already learnt Bach's Well-tempered Klavier, all the Beethoven sonatas, the complete piano works of Chopin and Schumann, and all the Mozart piano concerti, twenty-two of which she performed during the period of one week with the Lamoureux Orchestra, conducted by Boulez, Maderna and Louis Martin.
		Yvonne Loriod continued her studies at the Paris Conservatoire, where her teachers included Marcel Ciampi, Simone Caussade, Joseph Calvet, Messiaen and Milhaud, gaining seven first prizes.
		In September 1998 she performed Messiaen's La Transfiguration de notre Seigneur Jesus Christ with the London Symphony orchestra and in January 1999 she played a major role in the BBC's Messiaen Festival at the Barbican, culminating in a performance of the Turangalila Symphony with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Andrew Davis.

		She was then awarded a special bursary to go to the Centre Acanthes at Villeneuve les Avignon and selected as an active participant in Olivier Messiaen's analysis class.
		She was one of four pianists chosen to perform in the final concert in the presence of the composer Olivier Messiaen.
		Throughout, Cole, a former student of Yvonne Loriod and Yalta Menuhin, who recently founded the Viktor Ullmann Foundation, successfully brought alive the orchestral colours of the work.

		You can spend a lot more money to hear the series played by Messian's wife, Yvonne Loriod (Ades 203752), but frankly I think Håkon Austbø plays with a lot more power and color and he is certainly better recorded.
		Austbo has Yvonne Loriod and her pupil Pierre Aimard as contenders for the citadel interpretive realm of spirituality.Yes Aimard is recommended as a centrist reading, no great challenges or interpretive dangers ventured.Yet deeply compelling,as his Ligeti.
		In contrast Austbo is quite overwrought at times,summoning(unnecessarily) the organ timbral dimensions, the lower depth octaves.

		Loriod expressed the subtlties of the work as well as the RCA recording of the work performed by Peter Serkin.
		Reminds me of John Ogden(who had introduced this work to England in the Sixties) at moments, clean, razor sharp timbre,strident, deeply 'affretando' emotional equal to Loriod, who's performance cannot be considered definitive, simply one interpretation amongst others, "une jour comme une autre".
		Austbo is very direct, compelling, engaging, without transgressing the dignity of the work's deep emotive spirtuality,And maintains with vigour, the work's Baroque structural dimensions firmly within grasp.

	Messiaenreviews
		There were moments in the book that had me laughing out loud especially when Loriod and Messiaen were departing for London and the taxi that dropped them at the Gare de Nord drove off with their suitcase in the boot which had both of them shouting after the taxi to no avail.
		My first exposure to Vingt Regards was not Loriod but the Hungarian born Thomas Rajna who came to the Wigmore Hall, London to perform the cycle in its entirety I think as part of a tour to promote his newly released recording of the work on 3 LPs for the Saga Record label.
		Apparently Maxime Patel was approached by Jeanne Loriod in 2001 with an idea to mark the 10th anniversary of Messiaen's death with a release of a CD including Fête des Belles Eaux.

		After the war, Messiaen taught famous pupils - like Xenakis, Boulez, Stockhausen and his future wife Yvonne Loriod - at the conservatory in Paris.
		Messiaen was fascinated by the singing of birds and he wrote down many of their note-patterns, which he worked into his music - like 'Oiseaux Exotiques'.
		After the death of his first wife Claire, he married Yvonne Loriod in 1959.

		Despite stiff competition from Hakon Austbo and the composer's wife (Yvonne Loriod), Pierre-Laurent Aimard delivers what is undoubtedly the finest recording to date of the piece.
		Aimard, who studied under the composer and Loriod herself, rises to the difficulties of this work and all its tonal colors.
		Be that as it may, I believe that this Aimard is an amazing document of great beauty and understanding on his part, not surprising considering he studied for seven years with Yvonne Loriod, the composer's wife and primary interpreter in earlier years.

	Classical Net Review - EMI Encore Reissues
		(Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's musical family also includes his wife, the underrated Hungarian-born soprano Julia Varady.) And speaking of wives, pianist Yvonne Loriod was Olivier Messiaen's second wife, and she became associated with his music, playing it everywhere – by herself and with other musicians.
		On this recording, made in 1990 (in the presence of the composer), she is something of a grande dame surrounded by three youthful companions.
		Loriod and Poppen make a very good case for the Theme and Variations, a work dating from the composer's mid 20s in which the influence of Debussy is obvious.

	Sleeve Notes - Messiaen: Visions de l'Amen and other piano music
		Loriod’s godmother, Nelly Eminger-Sivade, did much to encourage her brilliant god-daughter, putting on recitals in her salon where the young Yvonne would play for guests: Honegger and Poulenc came to hear her play when she was eighteen, and she played works by Messiaen, Jolivet and others.
		Those present were Mme Tual, Gallimard, Poulenc, Jolivet, Samazeuilh, Honegger, Mme Messiaen.’ Yvonne Loriod recalled that after this rehearsal, Messiaen took the guests down the rue Blanche to attend Vespers at the Trinité.
		The Fantaisie burlesque was composed in 1932 and first performed in a concert at the Ecole Normale on 8 February 1933 by one of the outstanding French pianists of the day, Robert Casadesus.

		This thesis earned him a 3-year scholarship in Paris to study under Messiaen and his world renown piano teacher wife Yvonne Loriod.
		During this period he learnt the piano technique developed by Franz Liszt and passed on and kept alive in France through renown teachers like Yvonne Loriod and Germaine Mounier.
		The results were nothing less than spectacular : the birth of a rich and beautiful crystal clear tone, an effortless fluidity and a rhythmic capability with which he could master even the most demanding and complex Messiaen compositions.

		The third disc’s combination of Carter and Varese suggests an American theme, but the effect is to highlight the contrasts between one of Carter’s most richly differentiated and eloquent orchestral canvases, carefully prepared yet powerfully projected in this performance, and Varese’s much more elemental constructions.

	Sleeve Notes - Messiaen: Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus
		On 5 September, Messiaen noted that ‘Delapierre wants to publish by subscription a recording of some Regards by Loriod’, a project which came to nothing (the earliest recording of two Regards was made by Loriod for Pathé in 1947).
		On 15 December he rehearsed with Yvonne Loriod at the home of her godmother Mme Sivade, in the rue Blanche.
		His self-confidence was sustained by faith, of course, but the violence of some attacks on his music, and even on his motivation for composing and his artistic sincerity, must have caused distress.

		Vingt Regards is truly a work of monumental proportions, certainly in terms of the grand compositional design but also on the super-human demands placed upon the performer.
		Messiaen had stated that in writing the Vingt Regards, “I knew that they would be played by Yvonne Loriod; I could thus allow myself the greatest eccentricities, because everything is possible to her.
		I knew that I could imagine things that were very difficult, very extraordinary and very new, and that they would be played and played well.” This work is indeed dedicated to Yvonne Loriod (the composer’s wife of his later years), who gave the first performance in Paris in 1945.

		This is a confident reading by a conductor prepared to make unequivocal statements.
		Of course the authoritative presence of Yvonne and Jeanne Loriod also makes a difference and adds to the standing of this classic of recorded sound.
		Perhaps the passing decades have taken some toll on the tone which, while respectable enough, would benefit from greater succulence instead of the mildly synthetic sense you transiently get when listening to parts of this recording.
