Gao Ping’s music often draws its inspiration from his native home of Sichuan in China, and The Mountain recalls the expressive and humorous melodic inflection of the local dialect. Slow and processional, Questioning the Mountain is a meditation written after the devastating earthquake which struck Sichuan province in 2008. Twelve-Hour Bridge refers to the vast distance between America and China, the structure of the piece symbolising contrasting cultures, while the symbols ‘Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju’ are plants which stand for the beauty of different traditional Chinese character attributes. Further chamber music by Gao Ping can be found on Naxos 8.557678; his Bright Light and Cloud Shadows on the ‘very enjoyable’ (ClassicsToday.com) Asian Music for String Quartet (8.572488).

Éclairs sur l'au-dela (Illuminations of the Beyond) was Messiaen's last work. It shares with his other large-scale orchestral pieces a sense of otherworldly grandeur, obsessively repeated rhythmic and melodic patterns, birdcalls, and a riot of orchestral color, among much else. Its eleven movements address different aspects of the title and, like virtually everything Messiaen wrote, could not be mistaken for any other composer. Rattle and the Berlin Orchestra deliver a skilled, dynamic rendition, steering clear of the kitschy implications of sections where Messiaen skirts the edges of kitsch (enjoyable as they may be). Unexpectedly, the Berliners sound at home in this music, with some terrific solo and section contributions, and special kudos due to the percussionists and winds, especially the flutes, whose birdcalls resound throughout the work. Transparent engineering uncovers details in the score, further making this a delight for Messiaen fans. --Dan Davis
