I'm into one of those phases when I'm not really interested in listening to much else than Messiaen. This came upon me over the weekend when I gave a spin to Des Canyons Aux Etoiles and realised just how much I loved the piece, possibly even more than the Turangalila Symphony. It was the humour of the music that got to me, something I've never quite taken in before. The bursts of birdsongs are often funny in a kind of charming, Disneyesque manner. At least, that is, to this listener. Since I don't quite know what the standard response is meant to be, I'm sort of inventing my own.
