Steven Osborne

Olivier Messiaen Vingt regards sur l’enfant Jésus

Any performance of Messiaen’s meditation on the childhood of Christ is a special event. But when the pianist is Steven Osborne, acclaimed round the world for his breathtaking traversal of this veritable Everest of the pianist’s repertoire, the event becomes unmissable.

Messiaen distils his passionate catholic faith into a kaleidoscopic tapestry of sound with an emotional range running from profound contemplation to ecstatic joy. An overwhelming experience.
