This 1944 piano monster-piece, as I think of it, is one of the most challenging, even harrowing pieces ever written for solo piano. The twenty movements of Vingt regards sur lenfant-Jésus or Twenty Gazes upon the Infant Jesus run about two hours in performance, so it is a challenge not only for the pianist but also for the ears and backsides of the audience. Here, the pianist is Messiaens widow, for whom the piece was written.
