- New York Philharmonic’s principal players Carter Brey and Anthony McGill are joined by pianist Inon Barnatan and former New York Philharmonic music director Alan Gilbert for a nuanced and heart-wrenching performance of Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time. Inspired by texts from the Book of Revelation, the work was composed during Messiaen’s internment in a German prisoner-of-war camp and was first performed by and for fellow prisoners in 1941. The Met’s Temple of Dendur provides the solemn setting for a work the New Yorker calls “the most ethereally beautiful music of the twentieth century.”
This Digital Premiere is presented as part of Carnegie Hall’s online festival Voices of Hope. Highlighting musical works created in times of war, repression, and tyranny, the festival is an apt setting for Messiaen’s transcendent composition, created in unimaginable circumstances at one of history’s darkest moments. At our present moment, following a year of pandemic and loss, the composition is testament to the resilience of art and artists.

i love how one guy is using an ipad and the cellist is using a score on the verge of disintegration
For a piece written in a concentration camp. It’s difficult to grok all that.
Wĥat wonderful musicians, each master of their craft and playing in total sychronisation, a moving and excellent perfotmance. Special mention of the extraordinarily well behaved audience. No coughing, spluttering or noisy shuffling beteeen movements. Total rapt attention and i am so grateful for the fitting respectful silence at the conclusion until the players indicated their approval.
An incredible performance! 🙌🏿🎶
Great!! Thank you! Brava!!👏👏👏👏
Wicked Clarinet Player.
I'm not crying- You're crying.
Movement 1 Crystal Liturgy - 1:11
Movement 2 Vocalise: The Angel Announces the End of Time - 3:55
Movement 8 Praise the Immortality of Jesus - 38:50
Amazing performance in an amazing setting. A cumulative abstraction of human consciousness. (And yes, courtesy of oxyconton..)
Guy in the background at 11:35 is hilarious
Can't wait!
Sooo exciting
A beautifully musical performance -- but enough with the swooping camera shots. They only distract from the music.
Will this be available after April 20 at 7:00?
Loved the clarinet solo 😍
Incredible expressions, movement. Had me on the edge of my seat. I don't know how people could resist clapping. I'd be hollering and whistling.
An advertisement came on toward the end and I actually jumped from the break in focus
Let it be. End of time
Please tell me that the "Sackler Wing" has been renamed?

The violinist looks like Alan Gilbert
Ugh....nuf said.
Well, enough from you, certainly!
Too much said in your case.

The 7th and 8th Movements are truly profound. Such a fitting conclusion.
Wow.
