The concert for Wednesday night began at 10 pm and consisted entirely of "Twenty Glances at the Infant Jesus" (1944) by Olivier Messiaen. The concert lasted two hours and was preceded by a brief introduction by Dr. Marcel Zwitser.
The performance was staggering. Martin Helmchen played all twenty movements without a substantial break, and it was a terrific interpretation. The whole performance was riveting.
