Title: End of Time should've ended Messiaen's career!
Review: I just heard this composition played live yesterday at a concert. HORRIBLE! I don't care who this composer was, where he wrote it, or why. It is garbage. Atonal, discordant, so bad I wanted to plug my ears. It sounded like a bunch of blind monkeys were tossed into a cell with pots, pans, lids, spoons, and maybe a xylophone for good measure. I finally succumbed to a fit of hysterical laughter - the music was simply SO embarrassingly pretentious and worthless, I was convulsed with laughter at my own bad fortune being stuck there at the concert till intermission - when I BOLTED.Intellectuals will rave about this piece, the composer, his sob story, how it premiered on a bitterly cold night in a concentration camp. But let's get real here: this ain't classical, and it ain't music. And folks who claim to love this piece are phonies and fakes. It doesn't even rate ONE star, but I put it there just so folks know I'm not kidding.'nuf said.
