Music reviews of Messiaen: Trois Melodies; Harawi
Music Review: Spectacular
Rating: 5 Stars
There's not much competition for these songs by Messiaen in the CD catalogue, but it's hard to imagine a more compelling case for this music than the performance on this Naxos release. The musical collaboration of the two artists is of the highest order and the result is simply spellbinding. Pianist Kristoffer Hyldig seems born to play Messiaen, for everything is here -- the delicacy, spikiness, and architectural clarity that are hallmarks of Messiaen's soundworld. Soprano Hetna Regitze Bruun has an astonishing voice -- resonant and rock-solid across the considerable range these songs demand of the singer, and the timbre is uniquely other-worldly (and so appropriate to this music). Listening to these two artists bring "Harawi" to such vivid life makes the song cycle seem like the landmark in 20th-century French music that it probably is.

Description of Messiaen: Trois Melodies; Harawi
Messiaen's song cycles Trois Mélodies (1930) and Harawi (1945) were both inspired by the loss ofa loved one: the Mélodies are a memorial to his mother who had died three years previously, and
Harawi was written shortly after his wife Claire Delbos had begun to suffer from the long illness
that would ultimately lead to her death. But far from resorting to misery, the shimmering beauty
of Messiaen's music leaves the listener with a sense of hope and transcendence.
