l\u2019enfant-J\u00e9sus*<\/em>, during the summer of 1944 in occupied Paris. The work is a series of reflections on various aspects of the story of Jesus\u2019 birth, but can also be seen as an ideal introduction to Messiaen\u2019s wondrous musical universe, with its mysterious harmonies, sparkling cascades of notes, and long passages inspired by birdsong. <em>Vingt Regards<\/em> was premiered by the then 20-year-old Yvonne Loriod, who would become Messiaen\u2019s most important interpreter and later also his life partner, and one can clearly see how the work\u2019s immensely virtuosic piano part was inspired by Loriod\u2019s boundless pianistic skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div><div class='tab-pane fade' id='tab-medverkande-content' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='nav-medverkande-tab' tabindex='0'>\n        <div class='tab-content accordion accordion-flush' id='nav-medverkande-content'>\n              <div class='tab-pane fade show active accordion-item no-program-item-accordion' id='tab-medverkande-25522-content' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='nav-medverkande-tab-25522' tabindex='0'>\n            <div id='collapse-25522' class='accordion-collapse collapse d-block' aria-labelledby='heading-25522' data-bs-parent='#nav-medverkande-content'>\n                <div class='no-program-item-accordion-body accordion-body'>\n                \n<h3 class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-heading nb-heading nb-cursor-default nb-heading-h3\">Musician<\/h3>\n\n<div id=\"no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4\" class=\"wp-block-norrlandsoperan-blocks-accordion no-accordion accordion accordion-flush row w-100 m-0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-norrlandsoperan-blocks-accordion-item accordion-item\"><div class=\"no-accordion-header\"><button class=\"no-accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4-0\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"no-accordion-header-img\" src=\"https:\/\/norrlandsoperan.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NO_symfoni_jonas_olsson_2X5A2023.jpg\" alt=\"Jonas Olsson\"\/><span class=\"accordion-button-text\">Jonas Olsson<\/span><span class=\"accordion-button-icon\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M7.99821 16C7.99821 15.7347 8.10357 15.4804 8.2911 15.2929C8.47864 15.1053 8.733 15 8.99821 15L20.5842 15L16.2902 10.708C16.1972 10.615 16.1235 10.5046 16.0732 10.3831C16.0228 10.2616 15.9969 10.1314 15.9969 9.99996C15.9969 9.86847 16.0228 9.73827 16.0732 9.61679C16.1235 9.49531 16.1972 9.38494 16.2902 9.29196C16.3832 9.19898 16.4936 9.12523 16.615 9.07491C16.7365 9.02459 16.8667 8.9987 16.9982 8.9987C17.1297 8.9987 17.2599 9.02459 17.3814 9.07491C17.5029 9.12523 17.6132 9.19898 17.7062 9.29196L23.7062 15.292C23.7993 15.3848 23.8732 15.4952 23.9236 15.6167C23.9741 15.7382 24 15.8684 24 16C24 16.1315 23.9741 16.2617 23.9236 16.3832C23.8732 16.5047 23.7993 16.6151 23.7062 16.708L17.7062 22.708C17.5184 22.8957 17.2638 23.0012 16.9982 23.0012C16.7327 23.0012 16.478 22.8957 16.2902 22.708C16.1024 22.5202 15.997 22.2655 15.997 22C15.997 21.7344 16.1024 21.4797 16.2902 21.292L20.5842 17L8.99821 17C8.733 17 8.47864 16.8946 8.2911 16.7071C8.10357 16.5195 7.99821 16.2652 7.99821 16Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4-0\" class=\"accordion-collapse position-relative collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4\"><div class=\"no-accordion-body\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-group nb-group  py-32\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-heading nb-heading nb-cursor-default nb-heading-h5\">Jonas Olsson \u2013 Norrlandsoperan\u2019s in-house pianist<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-paragraph nb-paragraph\">Jonas Olsson has a long and close relationship with Messiaen\u2019s music\u2014among other things, he studied with Pierre-Laurent Aimard, a student of Yvonne Loriod and one of the world\u2019s foremost interpreters of Messiaen.
