Da Camera will present the premiere stream of an original Da Camera production from its archives. Olivier Messiaen’s virtuosic tour-de-force for two pianos, Visions de l'Amen, originally performed by pianists Marilyn Nonken and Sarah Rothenberg in 2015, becomes a stunning visual experience with lighting by Jennifer Tipton.
Composed in 1943 and premiered by Messiaen and the 20-year old pianist Yvonne Loriod, his future wife (with whom Rothenberg studied in Paris), Messiaen’s mystical work moves from darkness to an ecstatic conclusion of luminous color and brilliance.
