Performing Messiaen`s Organ Music – 66 Masterclasses de Jon Gillock

Performing Messiaen`s Organ Music – 66 Masterclasses

Autor Jon Gillock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 dec 2009
Olivier Messiaen (1908 1992) was the most influential composer for the organ in the 20th century. Shaped by French tradition as well as the innovations of Debussy, Stravinsky, and Bartok, Messiaen developed a unique style that would become his signature. Using Messiaen's own analytical and aesthetic notes as a point of departure, Jon Gillock offers detailed commentary on the performance of Messiaen s 66 organ works. Gillock provides background information on the composition and premiere of each piece, a translation of Messiaen's related writings, and a systematic explanation of performance considerations. Gillock also supplies details about the organ at La Trinite in Paris, the instrument for which most of Messiaen s pieces were imagined."

Recenzii

"Jon Gillock is a true messenger of Messiaen’s music. . . . Through him, audiences can easily understand the musical message of the great composer Olivier Messiaen. In his performances, [Gillock] takes the listener with him into Messiaen’s spiritual world from the sounding of the first note until the very end." Yuko Hayashi , New England Conservatory

"Gillock excels at conveying his understanding of the meaning and spirit of the pieces, and this aspect forms the core of the book. . . . With the most complete primary-source guide in English to the performance of this music, Gillock presents an invaluable and deeply felt manual. . . . [He] . . . imparts vividly in words the involvement and passion the performer needs in order to bring the music to life, encouraging the player again and again to feel the gesture." —The Diapason, September 1, 2010
