concierto Isabelle Faust, Jörg Widmann, Jean-Guihen Queyras y Pierre-Laurent Aimard interpretan el Cuarteto para el fin de los tiempos de Messiaen Centro Europeo de Educación y Cultura de Zgorzelec

In the European Centre of Education and Culture in Zgorzelec, Poland—a border town that was part of Görlitz until 1945—Isabelle Faust (violin), Jörg Widmann (clarinet), Jean-Guihen Queyras (cello), and Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano) team up to pay tribute to Messiaen and to all those who suffered in the Görlitz camp by interpreting Messiaen's heart-rending quartet. The work's eight movements, inspired by the Apocalypse of Saint John, evoke by turns the birds' awakening, the arrival of the angel heralding the end times, the last judgment… These four virtuosos recount a veritable story in music with a spectacular variety of rhythms, tonalities, and registers in an unforgettable concert that adds a valuable chapter to the history of its place of recording.
