Visions de l’Amen

Album by Olivier Messiaen & Maarten Bon & Reinbert de Leeuw

Visions de l'Amen is a composition for two pianos by French composer Olivier Messiaen, composed in 1943. The work showcases Messiaen's distinctive use of modal harmonies, colourful rhythms and bird-inspired motifs across a sequence of meditative tableaux, and it occupies a notable place in his early wartime output as he developed the harmonic and rhythmic language that informed his later works.
