Man the woodwind homophonies in the antistrophes is just soooo juicy The whole piece is such a (maybe fantasied) tropical soundworld. Probably because of the percussion that reminds me of Gamelan music.

I will never forget the wonderful shock of discovering this score in my college music library, decades ago. The metric intricacies seemed unbelievable yet there they were, written out with precision, on paper. A masterpiece of the highest order.

This score is generally considered as one of the two most "advanced" ones of the composer, with "Modes de valeurs et d'intensités" from "Quatre Etudes de rythme" for piano. But the story of these two pieces is quite different. "Modes de valeurs ...." is a rather short piece of piano, which in fact does not sound as being in usual Messiaen's style. It is indeed an abstract study, entirely focussed on technical issues (the three others studies of the book a have more "Messiean's flavor') . It is quite parallel - not to say thzat it inspired- the so-called "Darmstadt school" and the "generalized series". It is just as if Messaien had replaced the word " series" by his favorite word "Mode", but the handilng principles of musical generating principles are quite similar. "Chronochromie", on the opposite, is a long and constructed piece for orchestra, which uses typical Messiaen's material (massive modal chords, birds song) etc..... It is only the advanced way how these usual material and processes which make it "advenced" (for instance, there is a free counterpoint for a large number of highly divided string parts which is made with various bird songs without any apparent coordination: the individual voices are almost impossible to pêrceive and follow, it is the overall feeling and nature of sound which matters, like in many modernist pieces at that time: Xenakis, etc...). We coulc say the 'Modes de valeurs ..." is close to Messiaen's border, but outside, while 'Chronochromie" is close to Messiaen's border, but inside.

I see on this recording, Pierre Boulez is conducting. Being a student of Messiaen, he was probably familiar with many of Messiaen's works.

The Épôde is crazy. Must be extremely hard for an orchestra to pull off.

Epode is a horrible chaos. If you want to mash different species' birdsongs together, it should be done at least with instruments of different timbres.

That brings up the discussion of why Messaien chose for it to be a "horrible chaos." Work is intentional, his orchestration is intentional. It brings up the discussion of why you think that the combination of birdsong in a piece "should be done with instruments of different timbres."
