Vingt regards sur l'enfant-Jesus. Kristoffer Hyldig (piano) OUR Recordings 6.220677/8
Hyldig gives his all in this gutsy performance of Messiaen's epic sacred offering, pivoting between its dynamic extremes with equal measures of grace and grit. It might be a lot for one sitting, but it has all the makings of a deeply engaging, immersive listen if you're in the mood. (MB) August Issue 2023 4 stars
