In one of the more memorable concerts of recent years… the American pianist Christopher Taylor performing for more than two hours some of the most complex and difficult music ever written for the piano. His performance was a highlight of the season and already represents an astonishing achievement. And it should only grow deeper as Mr. Taylor lives with the music.

—The New York Times

Vingt Regards is one of the great Herculean challenges of the piano repertory. Come scale the mountain of Messiaen’s genius.
