Organ Recital "in progress" - "Priere du Christ montant vers son Pere" by Olivier Messiaen

Andrew's online organ recital “in progress” continues! (This is his twentieth recording for this series!)

Prière du Christ montant vers son Père by Olivier Messiaen, played by Andrew Adair on the Salisbury Cathedral Hauptwerk sample set by Milan Digital Audio.

Olivier Messiaen's (1908-1992) Prière du Christ montant vers son Père is the final movement of L'Ascension. Originally written for orchestra, Messiaen completed an organ version (with a new third movement) in 1933-1934.
