L’importance de l’œuvre d’Olivier Messiaen n’a cessé de croître. Plus de quinze ans après sa mort, on peut mesurer l’empreinte qu’il laisse dans l’ensemble du xxe siècle – et au-delà.Dans un ouvrage paru en 1980, Harry Halbreich commentait avec science et admiration les différentes œuvres de son « cher maître ». Son étude se voit ici rééditée et poursuivie : il y traite les œuvres composées après 1980, et en particulier les monumentaux Eclairs sur l’Au-delà…, Livre du Saint Sacrement et l’opéra Saint François d’Assise.Le détail des analyses s’accompagne d’une réflexion remarquablement riche sur tous les aspects de l’apport spécifique de Messiaen au langage musical. Le rôle du pédagogue et sa capacité d’éveiller les jeunes talents reçoit un hommage mérité. Une insistance particulière est mise sur le message théologique dont cette musique est l’expression.Le rayonnement de cette immense personnalité est ainsi célébré avec ferveur l’année du centenaire de sa naissance.

Why are some of the most beloved and frequently performed works of the late-romantic period-Mahler, Delius, Debussy, Sibelius, Puccini-regarded by many critics as perhaps not quite of the first rank? Why has modernist discourse continued to brand these works as overly sentimental and emotionally self-indulgent? Peter Franklin takes a close and even-handed look at how and why late-romantic symphonies and operas steered a complex course between modernism and mass culture in the period leading up to the Second World War. The style's continuing popularity and its domination of the film music idiom (via work by composers such as Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and their successors) bring late-romantic music to thousands of listeners who have never set foot in a concert hall. Reclaiming Late-Romantic Music sheds new light on these often unfairly disparaged works and explores the historical dimension of their continuing role in the contemporary sound world.
