Messiaen - Regard IV

[ozzy]

Regard de la Vierge

As you may very well notice I play tempos a little bit different than suggested in the score in this regard (on e of my favourites). A couple of good reasons to do so imo, which I will discuss in more detail if someone oppose to this interpretation.

this is my current fav (the first 10 seconds of it plays when I turn my computer on) along with 1 and 20.

All of these are played extremely well. I notice for this regard you take a lot of parts a bit slower than the already moderately slow markings, but I think this is very effective.  Why did you decide to do this? I really like the return of that opening melody with the added jazzy rythm in the soprano. What is the significane of that soprano part?

anway thanks a lot and you definitely should post the next 20 in the future.
