Momo Kodama”s 2014 is a marvel, a mesmerizing journey from the shimmering surfaces of Miroirs, Ravel”s piano cycle of 1904-45 to Messiaen”s Fauvette des jardins (written in 1970), a late masterpiece of piano music from the visionary composer. Kodama”s insights into Messiaen”s sound-world are remarkable as she conveys his religious feeling for nature, birdsong transformed into spiritual utterance, through the compelling, insistent piano figures. Linking the two pieces like a walkway is Toru Takemitsu”s Rain Tree Sketch (1982), music from the East informed by Western experiment.
