Messiaen - Regard III

on: April 25, 2006, 03:01:21 PM

L´échange

This one i found (find) a little tricky to memorize. Of my, up to this date, 5 complete perfomances of Vingt Regards I am happy to here announce the best "L´échange" so far. Anyway in terms of not getting completely lost....

More or less the right notes all the way, except for two notes in the left hand in one of the bars. I dare you all to find them, though

I'm currently listening to all your "Regards" over and over and i like them very much! But especially here in No. 3 I don't get a certain thing: the alternated thirds in the beginning and also in the following respectve spots sound like they are not played together. Only towards the end they successively sound more played together. And the strange thing is that in the only other recording I have listened to (Joanna MacGregor's) it's exactly the same. Is that a sort of tradition? Or did i just miss to read something?
