Visions de l'Amen

Album by Olivier Messiaen & John Ogdon & Brenda Lucas Ogdon

Visions de l'Amen is a 1943 composition for two pianos by French composer Olivier Messiaen. The work blends modal, rhythmic and harmonic elements drawn from Messiaen's interests in birdsong, theology and non-traditional scales, producing dense, colouristic textures and rhythmic complexity that represent a development in his mid-career exploration of spiritual and timbral concerns.
