Pierre-Laurent may not be Yvonne Loriod, but he's the next-best thing and his Vingt Regards is almost as good. What makes this CD so spectacular is the high-resolution sound and 5.1 (actually 5.0 - you have to feed the subs) mix. Piano is the instrument that loses the most in a low resolution digital format, so having this, the greatest piano work of the 20th century, available in lifelike, warm, high resolution sound, is a gift that no lover of Messiaen, the piano, or modern music in general can be without. It's in the DVD-A format but it will play on any player that plays DVDs and will be at least 24-bit even at low-res. But you don't want to do that - you want to experience the whole thing!!!! (listed under CDs as this is an advanced resolution audio disc). - steve , posted 08/31/04 |
